I've encountered a number of web sites that have <DOCTYPE ...> tags, 
but contain totally made-up data.  Right now, the Validator returns 
an error message.  It would be nice to force a valid <DOCTYPE ...> 
(like what's currently done for a missing <DOCTYPE ...>) and have the 
page revalidated.  See 
<http://www.avery.com/us/Main?action=software.BlankTPLProductSKU&catalogcode=WEB01&softwarecode=4150> 
as an example.
