Re: XHTML validation error

Since obviously no one in the position to give official information is going to reply, I'll just give you some unofficial implied pseudo-knowledge.

The DOCTYPE on your page indicates that you're using XHTML 1.1, which is still an unstable working draft and, as such, is bound to have problems here and there.

Personally, I would advise you to use XHTML 1.0 Strict until XHTML 1.1 becomes a stable recommendation.

Subject: XHTML validation error


Dear Colleagues,

When trying to validate

http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/Institut/struktur/systemanalyse/kimwitu++/fancy.html

I got an error saying that

  Uh oh! I got the following unknown error:
  /usr/local/bin/nsgmls:http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd:79:5:E:
  "SYSTEM" is not allowed as a reserved name here Please make sure you
  specified the DOCTYPE properly!

It seems that the validator has a problem with the XHTML DTD, instead
of with my specific page. Since I took the reference to the DTD right
out of the spec, I feel it should be correct.

Any comments appreciated,

Martin
