Ideally, UAs would know nothing of that particular doctype and would trigger the standards mode because there is a doctype that is not on the list of doctypes that triggers the quirks mode or the almost standards mode. > Would it not be better to just require WF2/WA user agents to render it > in this "standards mode" you talk of? Yes, in principle, but you can't trigger the layout mode when you hit the first What WG feature. UAs already have code for triggering on doctype. It's not pretty, but it's the reality. > Or at the very least use something that would not confuse people into > thinking that it is an > application of SGML or XML.
