[wp-hackers] Replace default doctype on one page only through plugin

[Mike Schinkel]

Lynee:

Does it even need to be in a plugin?  It this for this site only, or are you trying to create generic functionality?  Can't you do just do something like (in ~psudeo-code):

<?php 

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=='special_url') {
   echo '<Special DocType>';
} else {
   echo '<Regular DocType>';
}

?>
