This happens because XULContentSinkImpl::HandleDoctypeDecl just returns without
creating an actual doctype node.  So not a DOM problem... there is in fact no
doctype in the DOM.

I don't know what the document in the URL field has to do with this bug, by the
way....

It's some XUL-file, in case someone wants to test and can't find some XUL on the
fast.
