41293 - Implement doctype for XML documents

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 15118

Description

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

We already have it for HTML, so this is a "DOM Core parity issue".

I have been working on this for a little while already. doctype.name is trivial, 
because we can just about copy the code from HTML content sink.

Full implementation is trickier. I have experimented some, and have a somewhat 
working version that fills up name, publicId, systemId and internalSubset. I do 
not like the way I did it, though (in nsExpatTokenizer, not storing state 
although should). In any case, the nsExpatTokenizer is doing the wrong thing 
when it creates the doctype decl token: it creates a token with only the 
doctype.name part. This is partly Expat's fault: it reports doctype start with 
the doctype name, but all the other parts come as default tokens from Expat.

I am thinking it would perhaps be best to implement the bulk of this in the 
content sink (or perhaps DTD, have to take a look). I believe nsExpatTokenizer 
should also create a new doctype close token so the content sink (or whatever) 
knows when the doctype ended.

Trying to get some work for nsbeta2 ;)

Marking nsbeta2+.  Heikki, we are currently in a push towards getting down to 
zero dogfood bugs.  Please do not check this in until after we've achieved that. 
 We will start accepting approved feature work after the zero dogfood bug 
milestone is hit and continue with that till June 22nd after which we'll go into 
the final six week stability push towards nsbeta2.  So, the time to check this 
in is after zero dogfood bugs and before June 22nd.

Hey, Johnny's visa came through.  Yours should be next, any time now! :-)

It seems that I misunderstood the PDT process.  I don't have the authority to 
mark bugs nsbeta2+.  Removing the nsbeta2+ marker...

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar.  Check via mozilla process.  See brendan/waterson.
