This is not a problem at all and I just checked that the login page typo3/index.php is indeed valid XHTML.

Do you agree that this bug can be closed?

No!

http://validator.w3.org/ says: "This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!"

"HTML Tidy for Windows released on 14 February 2006" (http://tidy.sourceforge.net/) says: "removing whitespace preceding XML Declaration"

I think "Tidy" is in the right and the XHTML isn't valid! How does your source text look?

There is not a single whitespace before "<!DOCTYPE" on my installation.

If there is one on your server, it might be caused by extensions having ext_localconf.php with whitespaces on top.

Anyway, http://validator.w3.org/ is definitely(!) right when it says it's valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional whereas tidy just wants to make it even cleaner than it has to be.
And IMHO having all the doctype and xml declaration on one line without a single whitespace just makes the code harder to read.
