html validator annoying error?

I need to validate a personal website and i keep receiving this error:
Line 3, Column 1: Missing xmlns attribute for element html. The value should be: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
<html>

?

Many Document Types based on XML need a mandatory xmlns attribute on the root element. For example, the root element for XHTML might look like:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

And this is the beggining of the index.html

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>

Can someone tell me what is wrong ?
