It's obvious that this problem is not caused by violations of validity constraints or Appendix C guidelines, but by the mere amount of characters that precede the namespace declaration. <http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://schneegans.de/temp/space-preserve-fail.html> still reports an error although the document is now valid and HTML-compatible. <http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://schneegans.de/temp/space-preserve-no-namespace.html> produces the same result. In both cases, it seems that the CSS Validator uses an HTML/SGML parser instead of an XML parser because it can't detect a namespace declaration. In particular, it ignores both XML declaration and document type declaration which really doesn't make sense. -- <http://schneegans.de/sv/> - XML Schema Validator | <http://schneegans.de/xp/> - XHTML Proxy |
