Our webpages were built by a Scheme pre-processor hacking the
index.xml file template. I've translated the new boilerplate into the
necessary Scheme code for the pre-processor, but the pre-processor
chokes on starting lines like these:

Much of the pre-processing is about consistently using <acronym> (or
<abbr> -- whatever). I hesitate to tear that all out; I didn't write
it.

Unfortunately your boilerplate is not XHTML, something our validating
pre-processor is dead set against generating. Is there a "tag
balanced" version we CAN generate? Something like

<!DOCTYPE html ...>
<html xmlns=...>
<head>

</head>
<body>

<title>Baz
- GNU Project - Free Software Foundation</title>


<h2>GNU Baz</h2>

instead of the aforementioned two lines before the <title>? The
boilerplate already has

</body>
</html>

at the end, so we're OK with that. :-}

Done.

Working on that.

Done.

Patch attached.
