The possibility of producing definitions of "HTML" was never in question; hey, I could even produce one myself.

But I was showing authoritative definitions.

My point was that any definition that excludes the majority of web-pages must be (to a greater or lesser extent) "wrong", and any definition that includes them all must be (to a greater or lesser extent) a loose definition.

How do you know that the majority of web pages don't have a DTD? Is there research on the topic? If you were to look at all the pages that Google currently indexes [about 9,000,000,000] at one page per second it would take the best part of three-hundred years.

As you surmise, I don't know. But that doesn't matter, really, because
the point is made even if the number of DTD-less pages is no more than a
"significant" proportion.

Of course, I don't even know that the proportion of pages with no DTD is
"significant", for just the same reason: the number of pages I've had
the chance to inspect is small, in global terms. But are you claiming
that the proportion of pages with no DTD is _not_ significant? I don't
think so. Rather, I think you are just being tediously pedantic.
