For all browsers except Firefox, the source document of the RTE iframe 
is EXT:rtehtmlarea/htmlarea/popups/blank.html

This document currently contains:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

For Firefox, the source of the iframe is "javascript:void(0);"

If we need the DTD declaration for IE, we could create a source document 
specifically for IE.

I am not sure I would want to change the source document for the other 
browsers because my experience is that they are very brittle on this
subject. But perhaps you can try adding the DTD declaration in the 
current file.
