Looks like an incorrect/over-specific interpretation of the Guidelines. What you have should be fine.<div><br></div><div>Just FYI: the best/fastest way to resolve such a question is to ask it *first* in the ticket.</div><div>
<br></div><div>Also, this is a good time to remind reviewers:</div><div><ul><li>Do NOT list "info" notices in the review summary</li><li>It is preferred NOT to list "recommended" notices in the review summary</li>
<li>If you must list "recommended" notices (or want to provide suggestions, best practices, etc.), be sure that they are *clearly separated* from any "required" notices. We need to be as clear as possible regarding what the developer MUST address in order to get the Theme approved.</li>

I just read <<a href="http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7786#comment:2" target="_blank">http://themes.trac.wordpress.<u></u>org/ticket/7786#comment:2</a>> and there is a note I don't understand:<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
• DOCTYPE write in capital letter<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Is this a requirement? Why?<br>
<<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review#Doctype_Declaration" target="_blank">http://codex.wordpress.org/<u></u>Theme_Review#Doctype_<u></u>Declaration</a>> doesn't mention capitalization.<br>
<br>
<<a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/syntax.html#the-doctype" target="_blank">http://www.whatwg.org/specs/<u></u>web-apps/current-work/<u></u>multipage/syntax.html#the-<u></u>doctype</a>><br>
states:<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
A DOCTYPE must consist of the following components, in this order:<br>
1. A string that is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "<!DOCTYPE".<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
and again:<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Note: In other words, <!DOCTYPE html>, case-insensitively.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I am not aware of any browser issues with capitalization.<br>
<br>
The only real (and very subtle) effect is that <!doctype html> may result in smaller files when gzip compression is used because the algorithm works case-sensitive and can "re-use" letters.<br>
