I deny all knowledge of that conversation:-)

In case anyone wonders it was basically a late night chat just 
explaining to a long time SGML/XML
user that there isn't a formal DTD in HTML(5) as a change from the usual 
topics of that tex.stackexchange
chat room which is the world cup, or the rules of cricket, or just 
occasionally, TeX.

Not that the subject isn't interesting but there isn't any information 
at the above that is intended to be cited:-)
