Unfortunately they still haven't fixed it in the XHTML specification itself,
the scamps, so lots of people are still copying the wrong DOCTYPE. Bah!

This looks like a bug in the CSS validator, being inappropriately case-
sensitive. (In HTML 4, the media attribute is CI.) You might want to report
this to the [EMAIL-REMOVED] list, but in the meantime it's probably
best just to use the lower-case 'print'.

That's a longer URI than necessary - '2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126' can be
replaced with 'xhtml1'. My guess is the CSS validator doesn't know about
this valid but seldom-used variant of the URI.
