First error: the html element is missing the xmlns attribute.
Let's look at the code for your site... it starts with
<html>
=> in XHTML you have to have the xmlns=..." there.
The first error is definitely there

Second error: document type does not allow element "ul" here
I look where the validator is pointing
<span class="terms"><ul class="links inline">
=> you can't have a block-level <ul> in an inline-level <span>
The second error is definitely there, too.

etc.


I'm not sure what your browser is seeing, maybe you are seeing different
content and markup because you are logged in or have a different version in
cache, but I can assure you that the errors are there, whether seen from a
browser or the validator.
