<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Hello World</title>
<p>Hello world!</p>
This is valid HTML5. Mind blowing if you are the type who was writing XHTML Strict just a few short years ago (like me). Here’s the same in XHTML 1.0.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head><title>Hello World</title></head>
<body>
<p>Hello world!</p>
</body>
</html>
There is a big improvement going to HTML5. The short doctype is even backwards compatible but you might want to use <head> and <body> to keep browsers happy.

You forgot the namespace declaration in the XHTML version!
Thanks, nice catch. +1 gotcha.
