Well, as Björn said, it strictly speaking isn't the Validator's fault, but
we should still make sure we don't suggest people include HTML that is
nominally invalid in their documents. In this case, the "&doctype=Inline"
bit is even completely unnecessary (it just states the default).
I have implemented a fix for this in CVS and it should be available in the
next sync[0] with the public site.
Thanks for your feedback on this!

pushed back to at least next week due to scheduling conflicts.
