That URI is 404-compliant here.  However, having only superficial experience 
with HTAs, I find it unlikely that a .hta *needs to* start with `<html>'; it 
is more likely that you have found a bad example (the MSDN Library is strewn 
with them). 

AFAIK, the layout engine that is used is the same as the one that Internet 
Explorer usually uses (MSHTML), and we do know what happens there if you 
omit the DOCTYPE declaration or omit the system identifier from it.

You could simply have tried *before* you asked.
