Well, there is always HTML 4.01 for these cases (legislation, such as John has suggested). In such cases, we can still use perfectly well-formed, valid markup. And, in this case, I would argue more semantically correct markup, and likely a better choice of DOCTYPE. As has already been said, simply choosing the right DOCTYPE for the job may not be enough, though, given that we still don't really know to what degree punctuation matters.
