A comment formed like a DOCTYPE will be interpreted as the DOCTYPE of the
document even if the real DOCTYPE follows.
The following code, noted in bug 47165 as a work-around, renders as HTML 4.01 in
Mozilla, but is interpreted as XHTML 1.0 in the W3C validator.
<!--!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"-->
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
This is a known bug that I've been bugging rickg about since last summer and
which he didn't consider a bug.
I had a patch to rewrite doctype parsing but he didn't want it, and it's since
become outdated.
