Description Steve Smith 2005-11-06 13:06:01 UTC 
Validator is returning error: "Please, validate your XML document first!  Line 
2 Column 16 The document type declaration for root element type "html" must 
end with '>'.", but the page contains the identical DOCTYPE and HTML 
declarations as the validation page itself.
Comment 1 Bj 2005-11-06 15:31:34 UTC 
Your document is not well-formed, e.g. the 'public' in the document type 
declaration must be all upper-case, the fpi and si have similar problems. 
Please check http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html for a list of 
possible document type declarations.
