Re: [xml-dev] Polyglot XHTML5 Validator?

That we need to use the title element in the head section is not only
BEST PRACTICE, which I have learned is out of scope in this context,
but the spec actually says:

6.1 Required Elements
"Every polyglot markup document contains an html, head, title, and
body element."


We _need_ an assertion for DOCTYPE. You forgot that we can have a
DOCTYPE looking like the following:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

The above is valid HTML5, it is well-formed even if the top-element is
lower-case, but the Polyglot Spec explicitly says:

4. DOCTYPE
"The string html is in lowercase letters."
