The Admin pages used to validate as XHTML, and it seems that that was
intended, as the validation failure pointed out in #544 was fixed.
However it is now broken again, because the doctype in the header has
changed from:
{{{
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
}}}
to just:
{{{
<!DOCTYPE html>
}}}
which does not declare any entities, and therefore validation fails when
it encounters › entities in the breadcrumbs in `admin/base.html`:
{{{
<div class="breadcrumbs">
<a href="/admin/">Home</a>
› <a href="/admin/users/">Users</a>
› <a href="/admin/users/ischooluser/">ISchool Users</a>
› john
</div>
}}}
I'd be OK with a more relaxed doctype, but if that's the intention, please
can you at least wrap it in a block so that we can override it without
copying and pasting the whole of `admin/base.html` just to change one
line?
