DOCTYPE directive reads :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
		  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

W3C recommend :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

Could the missing <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> account for the
error ?
