And well they should, since the doctype attribute is read-only.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1/level-one-core.html#i-Document

where it purposefully states:
"The DOM Level 1 does not support editing the Document Type Declaration, 
therefore docType cannot be altered in any way."

Is my only option to manually open the file and put the DOCTYPE declaration
in it!?
