The beta (0.8) version, however, gives the error message "Missing xmlns attribute for element html" for line 3 of the document. First two lines are DOCTYPE declaration. Third line is a bare <html> tag. 14907 1 ot 2007-04-27 16:08:50 +0000 (In reply to comment #0) > If I run the page specified at the above URL through the stable version > (0.7.4?) of the validator, it passes.

Indeed, the 0.8 beta adds some conformance checks that were not performed in 0.7.4. > First two lines are DOCTYPE declaration. Third line is a bare <html> tag. According to http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#strict a bare <html> tag is not allowed in XHTML 1.0. Closing as "Not a Bug". It's a feature.
