https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8
https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/#C_4

The first two lines of the document are:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


… it checks it as XHTML because you are explicitly telling it that it is XHTML.
