Dear Shane McCarron,

Thank you providing a useful validator for XHTML+RDFa.

I'm a researcher at Matsushita Electric Industrial, and 
being interested in RDFa, I'm writing some pages by myself these days.
So your validator is very helpful.

However, I got "non SGML character" errors for every
non-asci (Japanese) characters in the file (encoded in utf-8, of course).

The following is a stupid minimum example, including no RDFa markups,
that caused 26 such errors.

Do I miss something?

Being not sure if I should post this to the W3C Bug Tracking Service,
for this may not be an official service, I post here.
(Please forgive me if this is not the right place)

# "みなさんこんにちは" means "Hello, World" in Japanese.
