Good point! I have never really understood why it's necessary to have consistency between the root element and the doctypedeclName. For example If I am authoring HTML 2.0 (assume there is an official XML DTD) and I write: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE P SYSTEM "html20.dtd"> <P>This is a para</P> that is presumably valid, but: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM "html20.dtd"> <P>This is a para</P> is invalid. Is this what the WG intends? If so, what's the rationale? P.
