Hi John,

You might find this link interesting: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_doctype.asp

My understanding is that the doctype system is a browser setting referencing system and only now seems easy in the later versions of html and browser implementation. Where as the html tag is a html element, used in determining the base association and order of the rest of the element tags.
