valign attribute rejected in colgroup element for XHTML 1.1

Hi,

I'm trying to use Amaya 8.7 on Windows 2000 to edit XHTML 1.1 documents.

I have found that Amaya reports errors when I load pages that contain 
the "valign" attribute within a colgroup tag.

For example, if you add the following table to an XHTML 1.1 document:

     <table>
       <colgroup align="right" valign="top"></colgroup>
       <colgroup align="left" valign="top"></colgroup>
       <tr>
         <th>Date:</th>
         <td>22/10/2004</td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
         <th>Start Time:</th>
         <td>19:00</td>
       </tr>
     </table>

...then Amaya will report the error:

     Invalid XHTML attribute "valign"


However, I think the valign attribute *is valid* for colgroup elements 
in XHTML 1.1.  Here is the relevant part of the W3C spec:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/abstract_modules.html#s_tablemodule


My documents successfully validate in both the online W3C validator and 
a validator we have set up using xmllint on our unix server.

Best Wishes,
Marcus
