Ha! Yes!  (Not really).  I did a view source in Google Chrome, produces this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"

         "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"

         [ ><!ATTLIST html id ID #IMPLIED > ] >

Yeah, view source in any other browser, for the honest version... LOL.
