Re: Mandatory doctype declaration for SVG validation: Please reconsider!

As of right now, the W3C Markup Validation Service behaves in its
long-established way again and returns a "passed" result on valid SVG
files that lack a doctype declaration.

Does this changed behaviour mark a reconsidered policy, possibly in
response to the hitherto unanswered request I sent to this mailing
list a few weeks ago, or is this a random fluctuation that might
change again unpredictably?

It would be helpful to have some clarity on this.

Thank you!
