Nope sorry,

This (mime type issue) is only required for XHTML 1.1. You don't have to do
it for XHTML 1.0 Transitional (which the example was).

The answer to Jamie's original question is to have a look at the source of
some valid XHTML documents (like http://we04.com/ off the top of my bald
head) to see what others use or paste the code you sent us into a validator
(I suggest http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/direct.html for direct
input) or even more simple, validate it in your code editor. If you're not
using a code editor (notepad isn't a code editor it's a text editor) get
one!

It's simply amazing what google will show you on these topics as well!

Sorry Jamie, just trying to teach people how to fish (on a very well
documented issue) instead of catching and cooking it. Sorry if this approach
offends anyone but if it saves just 10% of the stuff coming into my inbox
it's worth it (66 posts and 161 bounces from this list so far today).
