In my ideal world, I think we'd just disallow appending DocTypes entirely,
but I'm sure we can't for back-compat reasons. Next best IMO is allowing as
many DocTypes as you want wherever you want. I'm also OK with only allowing
1 DocType node before/after the element.

Do any of the above options seem acceptable to you?
