You certainly should. I've just tried it against the W3C validator, and it
agreed it's valid.

Result: Passed validation
File: test.html
Encoding: iso-8859-1
Doctype: HTML 4.01 Transitional
This Page Is Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional!
Here's what I uploaded:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="test.php">
<input type="text" name="x><y" id="xy">
</form>
</body>
</html>
(the <meta> being there because I validated it by upload rather than from a
real site that would have sent the relevant HTTP header instead)
What did you upload?
