LYNX-DEV 2.7 doesn't obey official html DTD tag in the file?

    Hi,

    I just fetched prebuilt lynx2-7.hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.tar.gz because
    I noticed that our 2.5 version didn't work right with files having
    correct DTD tag. For example I tried accessing

        file:/users/jaalto/test.tmp

    which had been purposively named that name, having the first line

        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WC3//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
        <HTML>

    As the sgml standard suggests. However when lynx was up, it didn't
    recognized the file as HTML at all. If I changed the extension to
    .html, the html recognition was back.

    Please correct this, Lynx should not rely on file extensions, but
    also check the used DTD definition.

    jari
