I can't help you very much on that, since I have little practical
experience wih Emacs and HTML. But here are a few points:
What you are seeing is most probably a HTML document (it looks like
HTML5 [1]), which is *not* XML. It looks a bit like XML. It seems
that after a phase trying to nudge HTML towards XML conformance,
the trend these days is in the opposite direction.
The header stuff you insert is declaring that the thing is XHTML
(which *is* xml). A confused nxml (or well: an angry nxml: "this
thing is full of errors") is to be expected then.
I don't know whether nxml-mode can be coerced to "do" html; perhaps
it can only cope with xml (and thus wih XHTML).
Sorry for only saying what *doesn't* work. Perhaps more knowledgeable
folks can remedy that :-)
