I would prefer not to use the unmatched quote, since some editors insert double 
quotes automatically.
Is there a problem with just doing:
<!DOCTYPE %name "%public_id" "%system_id">
If we need to distinguish the null case from the empty string case we could 
just, as suggested, replace the whole quoted thing with unquoted null in those 
cases.
(the no-public/system case should still be <!DOCTYPE %name>)
