Composer needs an api for inserting a doctype (given a dom document)

Comment 1

nsIHTMLDocument contains:

  NS_IMETHOD GetDocTypeStr(nsString& aDocTypeString)=0;
  NS_IMETHOD AddDocTypeDecl(const nsString& aDocTypeString, nsDTDMode aMode)=0;

My understanding is that you want to just insert a DOCTYPE string into HTML 
documents and then get it later for serialization. If these methods are enough, 
I'd like to close the bug.

The above API probably works from C++ code but the editor needs wants to do this
from JS so the above is not enough. I just checked in changes that make it
possible for the editor to set the document type through the DOM API and the
DOM API is currently also saved to disk.

Marking FIXED.
