Another try...

OK, I went back to the XHTML recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/)
and copied the example "minimally conforming" code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html 
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  

This caused the following message from the validator:


Fatal error! cannot open "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" (No such file or directory)


I couldn't parse this document, because it makes reference to a
system-specific file instead of simply using a public identifier to specify
the level of HTML being used.
