Hmm, reading TR9401:
# The DOCTYPE keyword indicates that an entity manager should use the
associated storage object identifier to locate the entity text (to
be used as the external subset) for a doctype declaration whose
document type name is specified by the entity name spec. Note that a
document type declaration that omits the optional external
identifier (that points to the external subset) indicates the
absence of an external subset; in this case, there is no entity
reference to resolve, and no catalog lookup is performed.
It is unclear to me whether given a document doctype that has both a
catalog PUBLIC match and a DOCTYPE match, which is to be used.
Jade obviously uses the PUBLIC in prefernce to the DOCTYPE match, but
I don't see any support in the standard for this.
I wonder if we should just eliminate the DOCTYPE entry in the catalog
entirely. Alternatively, we move the DOCTYPE down to the bottom?
It's a little difficult for us to guarantee anything about the
ordering of various catalogs from different packages, so I don't even
know if this is possible.
FYI, the DOCTYPE catalog line is provided by w3c-dtd-xhtml now. If we
want that line just removed, we should reassign this bug there I
guess.
