I upload my Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict file (attached) and get the following 
error:

----
Errors
URI : file://localhost/webring-xhtml10strict.html

     * Line: 0

       Parse error - Unrecognized : <?xml version="1.0" 
encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0

<style type="text/css"><!-- .pdwebring { width: 260px; height: 75px; 
background-color: "#FFFFFF"; }
----

 From this point on the CSS is parsed correctly.

Is this a problem at my end, or is the validator doing something it 
shouldn't be doing?

Thanks,
