The system isn't trying to validate XML files as XHTML (it is validating the XML though). The error it's reporting is that it's not finding any metadata. Of course, for now, it's looking for the metadata inside an XHTML <head> element, which theoretically could be inside a generic XML file (just use the XHTML namespace for the <head> and its children). The system also has hooks to look for metadata inside a parallel XML file for those files that can't contain an XHTML <head>, but that's not quite connected yet. I've been debating the format for the parallel metadata files. We also need to extend the metadata to be able to define multiple tests per file (for script tests like MQ). Peter
