I agree that use of the doctype should be discouraged. On consideration, a warning does seem appropriate, as long as it's clear that it might not be an actual problem with this particular page. Currently, validator.nu raises an error, which is wrong per the spec. At this point I'm not sure any spec change is needed. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
