I have been looking into Doctypes and have a simple question.
I have seen the following code used on a number of sites.
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">[/URL]
What is the function of the URL at the end, does it have to be etc?

It doesn't have to be - it just has to be the URL to a valid DTD (specifically the DTD you specified in the first half of the DOCTYPE declaration). At that url is a physical file.

Cheers,
Jeff
