    Subject: (x)html validator broken?
    
    When trying to validate my site, 
    [http://members.evolt.org/jswiders/index.php?id=main], as Xhtml 1.0 
    strict, i receive the message that the LINK, META, and H1 elements are not 
    valid for that version of HTML.  However, I've looked at the DTD file for 
    XHTML/Strict, and they're still there. . .
    
    Additionally, when using the form to specify a version of HTML that I want 
    the file checked against, I receive an 'invalid doctype' error -- for a 
    doctype declaration that does not exist in the file either on my disk or 
    on the server, and which I can only assume has been inserted by the 
    Validator engine.
    
    If there is a problem with my pages, I am perfectly willing to do what I 
    am able to fix it (i don't control the server, just the directory), but I 
    can't find where that would be. . .
