Broken XHTML on a lot of xcb manpages

Your XHTML generator generates invalid XHTML document, making a bunch of
browsers complain about it and cut it off. Some browsers (specifically,
Firefox), straight up reject rendering those pages.
I've noticed that problem on a bunch of `xcb_get_*` pages, but it could
be happening elsewhere too. I checked some at random and none of them
render properly.
This problem persisted for a couple months, or possibly longer, I
noticed it it back in April of this year, but it doesn't seem that those
pages are updated that often, so I could assume it could've been
happening for much much longer.
Affected pages: I believe anything under
https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man3/*.xhtml, but some
examples include
https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man3/xcb_get_font_path.3.xhtml,
https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man3/xcb_get_window_attributes.3.xhtml
and https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/man/man3/xcb_query_tree.3.xhtml
I hope it will be resolved in near future, but in the meantime, I'll
just stick to manpage viewer on my system.
I also mentioned that issue on Fediverse, but my instance has strict
authentication rules, so post is not visible. Should be visible from
[@]XOrgFoundation[@]floss.social account though!
