Is it valid to have blank line returns preceding the doctype declaration?
The
<!DOCTYPE>declaration must be the very first thing in your HTML document, before the<html>tag.

Not necessarily; BOM, whitespace and comments may come first.

So yeah, it must come first, before any actual HTML tags, but note that you can't really ever put doctype before BOM.
