Hello Shaun, Hello Mallard List, thanks to your help with mallard-site-tool and external namespaces my little homepage is online now [1]. When checking the rendered output on different machines I noticed that the pages are rendered in quirks mode at least in Firefox 20 and Internet Explorer 7/8/9 (see [2]). This causes issues especially with the Canvas element that is included on one of the pages. The problem seems to be due to a missing DOCTYPE statement in the generated HTML output files. I will now add a DOCTYPE for "HTML 4.01 Strict" manually using a shell script but wanted to know if there is a reason that DOCTYPE is missing in mallard-site-tool/yelp-build or if this is just some omission.
