At least implementations using standards I'm most familiar with. But ... if "HTML Documents" were only recognized using metadata, never the document preface (DTD etc), then it'd be ideal.

Actually, as I've commented before, that applies well to the DTD-related changes which WERE made by DOM Level 2! This could easily have been changed in later L2 drafts; the work-in-progress stopped earlier than you imply. - Dave
