    PATCH: make HTML valid XML

    Hello,

    This patch will change slightly page_header.php. As the result, HTML produced by php frontend will be valid XML, and therefore will be parseble by XML parsers, XSLT transformers etc.

    For example, it is required by Zabbix gadget for Google Desktop, described here.

          why?

          Why?

          Seriously

          It is allowed to have some tags in HTML to leave 'opened' but if they will be closed, nothing will be wrong.

          In HTML it is allowed to do following:
          Code:
          <meta blah='...' blahBlah='sdfsdf'>
Paragraph 1<br>Paragraph 2
<p>paragraph 3
          But it is forbidden in XML.

          But it is OK for both HTML and XML to do:
          Code:
          <meta blah='...' blahBlah='sdfsdf'/>
Paragraph 1<br/>Paragraph 2
<p>paragraph 3</p>

              Because the HTML code didn't pass www.w3c.org validation.

                  Wow! I didn't knew that it is not good to close tags in the head part

                  Anyway, browsers which thinks that any closed tag in the head part closes the whole head part and programmers, who do not put <body> in html, as it is not mandatory, are a bit not so bright

                  Aleksey, thanks for something new

                  Gadget itself rewritten to strip meta and link tags.
