Otherwise stylesheets could result in radically different It seems to me that you are missing a third category of user agent, which is actually the dominant class, namely those with specific application knowledge about the language in use, but which do not read this from a DTD, e.g. the typical HTML web browser. If, for example, one denies the existence of entities defined for HTML (not the specific issue here) you violate the "least astonishment" principle.
