Yeah, I already noticed this and it will be fixed in the completely new 
Web interface of Icecast 2.5.

This is because the xsl transform inserts it there, try changing the 
xsl:output to look like the following:
(Most important is that the method is html there.)

<xsl:output method="html" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 
Strict//EN" 
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" 
indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" />

Please let me know if this fixes the problem!
