All that isn't necessary. It's weird that the spec apparently
contradicts itself here.
Anyway, http://www.gigabee.com/ is valid XHTML 1.0 (according to the
W3C's validator), so if you look at the source code, you'll see what is
needed. All you need is a !DOCTYPE declaration. No URL to the DTD is
needed. No xmlns attribute is needed. No xml:lang or lang attribute
is needed either. HTH! :-)
