    <thetext>From Björn Höhrmann:

   I don&apos;t see any good reason to refuse validation completly. It&apos;s very
   simple to choose document types to default to, e.g.

     if element html has attribute xmlns
       default to XHTML 1.0 Transitional
     else
       default to HTML 4.01 Transitional</thetext>
  </long_desc><long_desc isprivate="0" >
    <commentid>30</commentid>

    <thetext>Ditching the DOCTYPE guessing code was done intentionally. Tagging this as
WONTFIX/NOTABUG.</thetext>
