People who wrote that have little understanding of what SGML is, or they 
decided to try to present things in a simplified manner. This should be 
evident to anyone who ever tried to even glimpse over ISO 8879.

And in reality, HTML was never an SGML application. Lahn, the resident 
troll, has claimed otherwise but never provided any actual evidence, or 
even anything that is purported to look like evidence.

If HTML 1 never existed (it didn't), then such a range cannot exist a 
fortiori.

This is of course way off-topic for the group. (Well, the group is 
almost dead anyway, and will be even more so if the troll starts 
spamming his "regular FAQ postings", as it seems.)

Say, have you found any attempt at an excuse for a simulation of 
something that loos like an actual case where the use of <!DOCTYPE html> 
vs. a legacy doctype would matter the least to JavaScript?
