Hi all,

I got  a question from a tidy user saying this.

After cleaning up a page, tidy add a DOCTYPE at the top that is not listed
here : http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html

For example :
 From tidy output:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">


 From the doc above:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

I must say that I have no idea at all if it is the URL to the dtd is
mandatory at all. I looked in the HTML spec but did not found anything about it.
I tried also to find this in a SGML documentation but could not find it.

Should I log a bug about it ?

Thanks by advance,

Marc
