I always thought it was kind of silly to declare it in DOCTYPE - after all, the root element should be the first and last thing you see in a document, and an application should be able to figure it out. It seems to me like redundancy, though there may be reasons for it which I haven't fathomed. The other reason for ignoring roots is that we _can't_ change DOCTYPE, so I think we'd better just stay out of its way.
