Every document should own a Doctype object according to the DOM level 1 specification. This object encapsulates name and some collections that describe the DTD. Work is still underway on standardizing the XML and DTD requirements and this object is therefore likely to change in later versions of the DOM specification.
The DOM level 2 specification adds the following new properties:
publicId
systemId
internalSubset
