Yes, you're right. The document type declaration bugs the mobileOK Checker, which then entirely fails to report something meaningful. The problem seems to occur when the document cannot be parsed directly as XML and needs to be parsed as HTML (in your case, parsing as HTML is required because you use the entity "×", which is entirely correct, but since the XML parser doesn't know anything about HTML and since there's no more reference to a real DTD in HTML5, it doesn't know how to parse it) I've created bug 9850 to track this: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9850 > > Disclaimer (excuses, excuses): Please forgive the linked page above and > site in general, it rarely gets much TLC.
