Hi all.

HtmlDocumentBuilder constructor creates a TreeBuilder as
this.treeBuilder = new DOMTreeBuilder(implementation); //treeBuilder is a private field
DOMTreeBuilder has an empty "appendDoctypeToDocument" method derived from TreeBuilder.
So it is impossible to add DOCTYPE without reflection or recompiling htmlparser.

Any thoughts? Haven't somebody ever wanted to do this?
