>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?

Bill

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 ;)
