domenic left a comment (whatwg/dom#1373)

From what I can tell reading https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#doctype-state a definition of "valid doctype name" that matches the HTML parser would be something like:

- If _name_ contains NUL, ASCII whitespace, or &gt;, then return false.
- Otherwise, return true.

Some [testing](https://jsbin.com/piveqimida/1/edit?html,js,console) seems to bear this out.

Should we roll that into #1079 too?
