Because it's in html5 mode (And html5 apparently allows you to have XHTML doc
type, well still being an html5 document - see r59741. Basically this tricks an
XML parser into thinking its valid XML, well still being valid HTML5 at the
same time). If you validate it is html5 it should have less errors and still be
conforming (I think anyways).

In any case if you really don't like it, you can put one of the following two
things in LocalSettings.php :

$wgWellFormedXml = false;

This would make it output <!doctype html> instead of xhtml strict, which the
validator might choke on less (however, both should be technically equally
valid i think). However, this could break bots that want to think the document
is xml, due to undefined entities. Probably not an issue unless you use things
like pyWikipediaBot (I think) which parse pages as XML

Alternatively you can do:

$wgHtml5 = false;

Which will turn off html5 mode (and thus it will stop using some html5
features), and restore the previous doctype (transitional by default, but
configurable in LocalSettings.php)

In 1.17, we stop outputting html entities, which makes the xml well-formedness
thingy less of an issue, so we just output <!doctype html> all the time, which
makes this a non-issue. ($wgWellFormedXml still controls if we use some html5
features that are invalid in xml, but starting 1.17 the html5 doctype is always
used when in html5 mode regardless of what $wgWellFormedXml is)

Thus I can't imagine we're going to change anything as the issue goes away on
1.17, so I'm going to close this invalid. (but feel free to re-open if you
don't think i should close it)
