Nope I do not agree. :)
If you have an editor which is generating content for examples an HTML editor.
I don't want that the tool if I'm choosing a DOCTYPE for example have
still in the menu features that are not anymore in the DTD or the
Schema. If I do a check syntax or check validity from the document I
don't want that deprecated tags be authorized.
If I want to produce old content, I want that the authoring is in a
mode that can produce this content, but not another one. (always
DOCTYPE/Schema switching mechanism)
