For XHTML you need this doctype:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE html
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
     "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xml:lang="en" lang="en">

I got this from http://www.xhtmlguru.com/

There are quite a few other useful things on this site, too.
