I've just been experimenting with creating the shortest possible HTML  
document that passes validation.  Here's what I've come up with: 
 
---------- 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"><title//s 
---------- 
 
Of course, it's only valid given a character encoding in the HTTP  
headers.  And the W3C validator's direct input interface happens to  
treat there as being one.... 
 
Further challenges: 
 
1. Find a browser that renders this correctly! 
 
2. Find the shortest valid code in each version of (X)HTML.
