Huh, how is youtube.com relevant to this? That's like saying "if Windows can have broken feature X, then so can we".

There are two issues here:

1. The page contradicts itself, by claiming to be XHTML 1.0 Transitional and not being XHTML 1.0 Transitional. An easy way to fix this is of course is to just get rid of the DOCTYPE. That still won't solve the bigger issue:

2. The page is not [X]HTML standard compliant. Ubuntu should set an example by following web standards, and not adopt the fix in "1" above.

And if you really want other examples, how about http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.debian.org , http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://fedoraproject.org/ , http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.opensuse.org , http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.redhat.com , http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.linux.org , http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.gimp.org , http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.inkscape.org ?
