W3C Validated XHTML ... not?

I just noticed you have that

sticker on the pages. But if you click on it and actually try to validate the page, it fails because of a missing namespace declaration.
I know it's a nitpicker issue and few people actually care, but shouldn't you at least put the images away if the site doesn't actually validate?

.. who, precisely, are you pointing this at?

It's an easy fix, and probably something that was changed when the forum was upgraded from the older version of SMF.

I'm sure one of us coders will fix it when we have time.

Oh. Joy. Let's update 12 themes, each of which is different. Again. *sigh*

Don't they all use the same base XHTML, though? They did before the change over, anyway...

Let's see... Meta tags are not closed on the main site, and the HTML tag on the forum is missing some attributes (it should be <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">). Is that common to all themes?

Oh, and main.php (on the main site) has unclosed link tags, and the following 2 lines:
<h2>Clockwork Mansion Forums</h3>
<h2>Network Sites</h3>

Eh, prolly a error during the recode of a while back. Just never noticed it.

The html xmlns is the one turing up an error, and the only thing that appears to need changing. I can prolly look into it tonight (or when I remember to).
