They would validate as old normal HTML, before the rules changed in XHTML.
Right now the webserver is prepending (by design) a DOCTYPE string saying
that we're XHTML.
I'm not particularly good at XHTML. (In fact, I downright hate some of
the new rules.) But I think I can fix some of the errors, with help from
validator.w3.org.
Jonathan Wakely posted a patch to add the DOCTYPE headers to the files,
so that they can be viewed offline. I never checked in the patch due to
the skydiving accident. My only question is what will the web server's
preprocessor do when it sees a DOCTYPE already there? I'll try to
investigate that, but don't hold your breath.
