That just leads to a doubled link to the HTML element definition. I would expect the complete string "DOCTYPE: html" to link to a section about the doctype. Or at least that no substring links to the HTML element, since the doctype has nothing to do with the that element.

If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: Historically it actually did have to do with that element -- in SGML and XML, <!DOCTYPE foo> means the root element is <foo>. However, I've removed the link to reduce confusion. 38589 2 contributor 2010-09-08 00:47:31 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r5436.
