Comment (by brentjett@…):

 It wouldn't necessarily fix a mal-formed theme, but I would suggest core
 offering the ability for a theme author to opt-in to the system rendering
 the document wrapper and the theme only be responsible for what outputs
 inside the `<body>`.
 From an api footprint perspective it could be as simple as:

 `add_theme_support( 'html-document' );`

 Letting the system render the doctype, head, etc... would ensure more
 well-formed themes and take the burden off the theme author to implement
 the majority of the hooks the system requires.
