I think the functions for the new defcustom should accept the
content-type, headers (since both are already parsed by that time), and
the entire buffer. If you agree, I can give your suggestion a shot, if
not let me know what do you think would work.

Thanks!
I would also have the current '(eww-html-p (car content-type))' wrapped
in a function `eww--content-type-html-p` and put both functions in the
defcustom, first content type then doctype.
