I'd like to suggest that \documenttype, consistent with usage in the
gellmu project, be reserved for a document under an abstract
LaTeX-like markup instance that is equivalent to a document instance
under an SGML (or XML) document type.
I think something like \Documentclass (upper case) would make more
sense for new regime documents written in LaTeX the typesetting language
Cheers.
