HTML cannot coexist with XML. Use the XHTML namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" instead of "http://www.w3.org/HTML/1998/html4"

Other than that, both documents should be indentical. The latter is what I would use though, since the page is primarily XHTML, and prefixing every element gets to be a pain.
