A good HTML skeleton

I want to start creating websites again, but I've been out of the HTML scene for a while now. I was just wondering if this is a good skeleton for a website. And if not, what should I change, add and/or remove?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<html>
    <head>
        <rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css" />
        <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/php; charset=utf-8" />

        <title>Site Template - Welcome!</title>
    </head>

    <body>
        <div class="Container">
            <div class="Header">

            </div>

            <div class="Menu">
                <ul id="nav"> 
                    <li>menu item</li>  
                    <li>menu item</li> 
                    <li>menu item</li>  
                    <li>menu item</li> 
                    <li>menu item</li>  
                    <li>menu item</li> 
                </ul> 
            </div>

            <div class="Body">

            </div>
        </div>

    </body>

    <footer>
        <div class="Footer">
            <b>Copyright - 2010</b>
        </div>
    </footer>
</html>

I've been starting with HTML5 Boilerplate... it helps make sure that everything is the most consistent across the various browsers and already takes into account the majority of the stuff I'll need later.
