Regarding findings of DOCTYPE present or not: The standards specify that DOCTYPE is the first statement in a document. So the validator should report an error in any other case, yet it seems there are cases where it does not.

Should MAMA improve on the validator and report this as a validator error?

Actually, if I remember correctly, the validator gets this right. It is MAMA that looks anywhere in the document for a Doctype, while the validator only checks at the beginning of the document. The discrepancy between the validator's doctype count and MAMA's count give some measure of just how many documents don't put the doctype at the beginning of the document (~3% in MAMA's URL set)

May I know the best cms/web/blog with typo3 which has valid xhtml, proper use of semantics, or accessibility? I can't find it on Google yet.

daniiswara: I don't think more statistics then has been released will be released (if the archives are even that conprehensive as to generate them).

Concerning the "error extremes" on page 3, it should be noted there is such a thing as a error cascade, especially in validators; just fixing one error sometimes solves twenty, for example.
