The CSS (PHP) is already gone. The HTML (PHP) is a bit different from 
HTML (Basic) in that it only highlights all known (lowercase) tags and 
known (lowercase) arguments.

There are other subtleties, like more SGML stuff in HTML (Basic) and 
markup of invalid ampersands and angle brackets, but that's easy to 
merge. The thing about tags is not.

I think Mats wanted to also do an XHTML bundle/syntax, and that's 
probably (IMO) what the HTML (PHP) should evolve into. Having the 
syntax only markup correct (XHTML) tags/arguments is very nice, but not 
very practical for all-around use (e.g., try to open 
~/Sites/index.html).

I can extend the firstLineMatch so we can get to the DOCTYPE and choose 
syntax like that. I suggest changing the syntax to something like: 
“lineMatch[n]”, where n can be a number, a range (0-3), or maybe even * 
for “all lines”.
