Random observation about http://httpd.apache.org/ index page
>From w3c's validater,
1. Error Line 3, Column 1: Missing xmlns attribute for element html. The value
should be: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml.
<html>
Many Document Types based on XML need a mandatory xmlns="" on the root element.
For example, the root element for XHTML will look like:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
I'm presuming this carries through to many of our docs (including the top
www.apache.org index page).
Thoughts?

The browsers don't care very much about that, because it's delivered as
text/html anyway.
More interesting for revision are things like:
* <menu>
* using <a name""> with a syntax not usable for ids
While you're at it, adding the xmlns doesn't do any harm. sure ;)
