The doctype html tag is for saying the compiler/browser wich version of html we use (used for the declaration of html5). Like doctype I think, as far I know, is not a tag, it's a nonsense tag or only an error of this declaration. Html tag is the root tag of any Html document. It defines the whole document. It's always present in a html document. Hope it helps :)

Major doctype is a special tag, wich is not an element. html is the root tag element, but not the only childnode of document...

don't worry about oldest doctypes, just remember that html5 should start with <!DOCTYPE html> ;)
