The HTML Imports spec ( http://w3c.github.io/webcomponents/spec/imports/ ) 
says that the imported documents "are HTML documents". Then there is a link 
to the HTML Living Standard ( 
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/syntax.html )

HTML Living Standard says "A DOCTYPE is a required preamble."

On a side note, HTML4 spec also said that "Every HTML document must have a 
TITLE element in the HEAD section.", but I think that requirement was 
dropped in HTML5 (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Still, what about the doctype? I would like to know what part of the spec 
regulates that the doctype can be omitted, which is the case for all the 
Polymer Element HTML Imports that I have seen.

I am asking to be sure that I have understood the current spec.

Thanks for clarification!
