#157 closed defect (FIXED)

Default theme should have DOCTYPE to trigger standards mode

Description 

W3 validator barfs at the default theme because of this missing
thing. Also, some browsers will change behaviour when they see
pages that miss that.

I suggest using the standard HTML5 doctype:

.. raw:: html

   <!doctype html>
   
Offering an patch.

There are two newlines before ``<!doctype>``, there should be
none.

I was able to take one away, however, the other one seems to come
from the machinery. I tried tracing as far back as WebOB, but
stopped there.

At least, the new version takes away one of the newlines.
