Being served with the wrong content-type doesn't render a document invalid. As far as I know, it doesn't even render it non-conformant with the XHTML 1.1 specification. It may put it in conflict with RFC 2854, but that shouldn't stop it being marked as valid. Possibly it might be worth the validator emitting a warning, or possibly this is a job for Unicorn rather then the validator. Whichever way it is, this is more a question for the QA team then the HTML working group. I've CCed the mailing list for the markup validator. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
