A:

A. Changes from XHTML 1.0 Strict

1. On every element, the lang attribute has been removed in favor of the xml:lang attribute (as defined in [XHTMLMOD]).

ok. it's may be the reason i will check. but why it's saying "Attribute “lang” exists" if it's not supported in this doctype. it only saying "but can not be used for this element.?"

Good point. I guess it's just a generic explanation of the error message, and they didn't take into account that the attribute was removed from the format altogether.

Answer 2

+1 A:

Just use <doctype html>. You're not using XML anyway, and the xml:lang attribute doesn't do anything in HTML.
