Use the ordinary '<!DOCTYPE...' with 'EN', and use 'xml:lang="fr" lang="fr"'
in '<html>' or other tags as needed. The "EN" of the doctype declaration
has nothing to do with the language of the document.
Indicating the language of the document (with 'xml:lang="fr" lang="fr"')
is good practice, but is not required.
