Here's a simple patch which makes the default front page (English language) and the documentation index validate correctly. Nothing major, just lower-casing the tags and updating doctype.
It also puts a tag for the W3C's HTML icon - I think it would be a good idea to include this on these pages? I can't include the GIF in a patch, though - how can I apply it? James.
