All these files have prologs. 1 and 2 have prologs that contain document type declarations only. 3 and 4 have prologs that have both XML declarations and document type declarations. The confusion is merely a case of a misuse of terminology.

   1. text/html without ?xml declaration [prolog]: xhtmlwithoutprolog.html  (note: valid XHTML 1.0 Strict)
   2. text/xml without ?xml declaration [prolog]: xhtmlwithoutprolog.xml (note: valid XHTML 1.0 Strict)
   3. text/html with ?xml declaration [prolog]: xhtmlwithprolog.html (note: valid XHTML 1.0 Strict)
   4. text/xml with ?xml declaration [prolog]: xhtmlwithprolog.xml (note: valid XHTML 1.0 Strict)
