Your whitespace.el contains some html code. That's where the "<!DOCTYPE"
came from. You need to download the lisp-only file, not the html page.
It's probably not your fault, at least I remember having similar
problems with Emacswiki a couple of times.

Anyway, load the whitespace.el from page

    http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/whitespace.el

and use the "Download" link with "Save Link As..." in your browser. That
should work.
