HTML <!doctype html public "">

One of the new doctype declarations can be specified as:

<!doctype html>

But recently I came across one which was slightly different (view source on http://html5boilerplate.com/):

<!doctype html public "">

But I couldn't figure what is it for, public part?

Thanks.

You missed one important character

<!doctype html public "✰">

Inside the quotes is a star character. They like putting it everywhere. Its valid but not in any way useful :P
