Would you care to expand on this apparently rather odd statement?

As far as I am aware, ISO HTML is essentially a restatement of W3C HTML
4.01, with certain recommendations transformed into requirements, and
certain deprecations transformed into exclusions. Apart from that, the
recommended DTD declaration is different; but the exact DTD to be
declared is not a requirement of W3C HTML 4.01 anyway.

Pleae explain whatever I may have misunderstood!
