Hi,
The conformance requirements section[1] states that:
HTML documents that use the new features described in this specification
and that are
served over the wire (e.g. by HTTP) must be sent as text/html and must
start with the
following DOCTYPE: <!DOCTYPE html>.
So, if I read this correctly, HTML documents that aren't served over the
wire need not have a doctype?
If it was intended that all HTML documents must have a doctype, then I
suggest something along the following lines instead:
HTML documents that use the new features described in this specification
must start with
the following DOCTYPE: <!DOCTYPE html>. Such documents that are served
over the
wire (e.g. by HTTP) must be sent as text/html.
