Amaya vs validator.w3.org

Amaya (8.1b for NT running on Win2K Advanced Server) fails to spot a couple
of XHTML validation errors.


The following file
-----------------------8<------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

generates no errors on loading by Amaya, and using the Views>Show Parsing
Errors dialog generates

    Each error line is a link.
    It can be activated by a double (or a single) click
    *** Errors/warnings in <filespec>
      line 12, char 0: warning - unsupported language: ang

but validator.w3.org tells me

    This page is not Valid XHTML 1.1!
    Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML
parser.
