you should test your code before posting it.

putting this

above the the doctype moves the doctype down one line and throws internet explorer into the quirks mode. if you are going to operate in the quirks mode why bother to use a doctype in the first place?

Nice enough idea in principle... the only caveat I would raise is the use of the XHTML 1.1 variant. This DOCTYPE is intended as the foundation upon which to build compound document formats (XHTML + MathML + SVG + etc).

You should really be using XHTML 1.0 Strict.

Given proper conformance to the XHMTL standard and modular inclusion of the DOCTYPE across a site then upgrading to XHTML 1.1 ought to be simple.

Hope that helps

Looks like the copyright symbol doesn't read correctly in W3C's validator. Otherwise it was completely valid for me!

Mmmk, for some reason the code isn't showing, so let's try without tags:

Current: link href="/script/javascript.css" Suggested: link href="/script/javascript.js"

I think there's a typo at line 18: Wouldn't be better something like:

I mean just to be consistent with extension naming conventions. Anyway it's a great template, thanks for sharing!
