In order to have different rules for creating HTML in Composer, we need to know
when the document being edited is HTML 3.2, or 4.0 strict, etc.
Specific issue at hand (bug 7648) is the insertion of TBODY in HTML 3.2 docs.
Charlie -- I've sent you voice mail about this, but perhaps we can do this via
this bug. The parser already calls the document when it encounters a doctype,
and you can access it through the normal dom mechanism. The only remaining issue
is what to do in the absence of a doctype in the incoming stream. I propose that
we add a new call to the sink/document called SetDefaultDocType() which you can
query if the document itself doens't have a doctype.
Does that sound reasonable?

Sounds good to me. So I'll look for an existing DOCTYPE element first, then
if missing, call SetDefaultDocType(). Will that then insert a DOCTYPE element
which I then get from the DOM?
No -- prolonged exposure to akkana has convinced me that putting non-original
data in the content model should be avoided where possible. : )
The reason for the 2nd call is so that we can have a way for the parser to
notify the sink/document without affecting the document state.
Harish: this is a dup of the bug I opened for you this morning.

All the documents will now have a DOCTYPE associated with it. That is, for
documents without DOCTYPE parser would create one ( the default is set to
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> ).
Also have added a static API ( CreateCompatibleDTD()) which could be used to
retrieve the appropriate DTD for a give DOCTYPE, or MimeType.
