    <thetext>&quot;The doctype declaration is &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; and is case-insensitive in the HTML syntax.&quot; - this sounds like &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; is &quot;the&quot; doctype declaration also in XML, but the XML syntax has no requirements at all wrt which doctype to use, so that&apos;s a bit misleading. It should say that that&apos;s the doctype for the HTML syntax, and that the XML syntax can use any or no doctype.</thetext>
