    Hello,

    This is my first post to this mailing list.

    I was playing around with HTML + text labels on Swing widgets
    today.  I noticed that the sniff test for HTML is defined by this
    static method: javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicHTML.isHTMLString(String)

    The test is quite strict.  Basically, the string must start with
    "<html>" -- no whitespace allowed, but it is case insensitive.

    If there is a good reason for this strictness, please let me
    know.  Otherwise, I would like to submit a small patch (+ test) to
    improve this static method to be more forgiving.  If OK, please
    also advise about JDK7u vs JDK8.  (I don't know if a [simple]
    patch can be applied to both releases easily.)

    In Perl regex parlance, something like: m/\s*<html\s*>/i
    Of course, my solution probably wouldn't use a regex, nor Perl. =)

    Please share you thoughts.

    Thanks,
