In order to validate that page, the validator need to know in which
document type that page is written - in other words, that page need
to have an appropriate DOCTYPE declaration at the top.

Otherwise, the validator cannot perform validation, and it assumed
that it's an XML document and checked that document for XML
well-formedness.  That's why you've got tons or errors.
