The //EN in <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
is not explained.

Is it OK on non-English documents? Users worry.

BTW, when making this report I saw:
There may be a problem with your installation of w3-recs; the following files appear to be
missing or changed: debsums: can't open w3-recs file usr/share/doc/w3-recs/dhelp (No such file
or directory) Do you still want to file a report [y|N|?]? y

It is not explained in the spec because it is not HTML specific, but
rather SGML-/XML- specific. The part between double quotes is the public
identifier of the document type, in principle it has to be taken as a
verbatim string with no specific meaning.

See the XML/SGML specifications for more information about that.

Cheers.
