I converted my homepage [1] to XHTML, but left the old doctype in
comments. (This is valid according to XML 1.0 - see [2]). The
validator [3] is not correctly sensing that the document is XHTML.
However, if I remove the commented doctypes, then it works.
Are you using expat for the XML parsing, or still nsgmls (tricked into
making SGML into XML - does SGML allow empty elements to have a slash
at the end?)?

don't get one of the versions I didn't convert yet - normally you
don't need index.html.en)
