The following source change enables coddingconventions.html to
pass the HTML validator at validator.w3.org.

Okay?

the web pages will be preprocessed before the are put on the server
(this transparently happens upon checkin) and as part of that

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
  <!DOCTYPE html
            PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
            "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

are going to be prepended to any page, plus the standard CSS reference
and footer are added, for example.

Since you ran into this, I would like to document this better.  Would
http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/web.html be a good place, or do you have
a different suggestion?

Okay, but now I have questions!

Where do these prepended pages come from?  How do I test the page
as it will appear?  I guess maybe I'm asking for the makefile that
produces what one would see.  I want to validate that.

BTW, part of the problem is that the pages are complete enough as
they are to be considered complete.  I.e. they are not obviously
fragments.  Would it be better to make them clearly fragments?

Doesn't the prepending prevent incremental migration to new
standards?

My entry point was http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html, so at a minimum it
need to be cross linked with http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/web.html.
