<!doctype html> is the declaration for HTML5. If a verification tool
breaks on the doctype declaration (versus reporting on things on the
page that’s not HTML5-compliant), then the verification tool is
broken.

Using the shorter doctype means we’re switching to HTML5; adding the
rest back in means we’re going back to HTML 4. I’m not current with
where Koha is going but I assume Koha would be going HTML5 as most
sites are going to go HTML5.
