Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 8607

Description

document::doctype is not yet implemented, it seems.  The above script stops
when it is accessed with the error:

JavaScript error:  document.doctype has no properties

Yup, when I did my last pass to get the XML interfaces for Level 1 core working,
I had to defer this till we moved over to the latest version of expat. I think
we've made the switch now, but the older version didn't have any notification
for doctype.

I misread a badly worded statement in the DOM-Level-1 and thought this applies
to HTML too... but it doesn't (now that I read a later part of the section).
So I'm removing the test page (http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/dom/test/Node)
from this, since the doctype should be null for an HTML document.

Nisheeth, I was under the impression that the latest version of expat that we
have does parse Document Type Declarations
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#dt-doctype). Looking at the code in the expat
directory, it doesn't seem like that's the case. Nisheeth, I'm passing this bug
on to you so that you can update our version of expat and make sure that the
doctypedecl notification gets to the sink.
