Is this a valid HTML? https://validator.w3.org/ seems to require this as minimal HTML to validate successfully.

    <!DOCTYPE html><html><title>0</title>
I would thus fix your 1 line shell static site generator like this.

    echo '<!DOCTYPE html><html><title>0</title>' > index.html

You can trim <html> tag and still get valid html: <!DOCTYPE html><title>0</title>

It's still a site even if it doesn't validate. HN (news.ycombinator.com) generates more than 100 errors on that validator. Doesn't mean HN isn't a site.
