I believe that Sean is seeing a bug in the W3C HTML validator - It appears to have problems with XHTML that is processed as text/xml as opposed to text/html. I quote a test case at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2000AprJun/0143.html that demonstrates this problem. Ian -- Ian Graham .........................
