XHTML validation [#383114]

The html element is missing language. Direction is also recommended. Current:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Required
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php print $language->language; ?>" lang="<?php print $language->language; ?>">
Recommended
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php print $language->language; ?>" lang="<?php print $language->language; ?>" dir="<?php print $language->dir; ?>">

The default style sheet language must be specified when style attributes are used. The following line appears twice. The style should be replaced by a class.
<div style="clear: both;">

When these changes are made, the theme should validate against WCAG and other standards.

This next problem is a bit trickier. The following content title has a link back to itself and a conflict with another link, creating a WAI AA problem. The link back to the current page makes no sense so dropping the link would work. The link conflicts with another link having the same text but a different href. Adding a title to explain the link would make the link unique to a person reading the screen through a screen reader. I just cannot think of what title you would add to a link back to the same page.
<div class="contenttitle"><h1><a href="/dropshadow">Dropshadow</a></h1>
