When I view
http://www.bath.ac.uk/%7Epy8ieh/internet/projects/mozilla/xml-doctype-public.xml
...I get the following message from the XML parser:

   XML Parsing Error: syntax error
   Line Number 1, Column 56:
   <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN">

The DOCTYPE declaration comes straight from the XHTML spec. I assume it is
correct, but it may not be -- I know very little about XML so far... :-(

It's not valid.  See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-ExternalID

There must be two parts following "PUBLIC".

Marking INVALID.  You should bug www-html about this, if it's in xhtml.
I couldn't find it in the xhtml spec.  Where is it?

Arg, I keep finding bits of SGML that XML has junked... ;-)

Yup, you're right, its invalid. Thanks.

(And it's not in the XHTML spec. That comment was the result of overkeen cut
and paste. Sorry.)
