    James,
    
    Yep, you're right.
    
    It first says it's unknown (as you have below), then it says:
    
    Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity. 
    
        No errors found! *
    Congratulations, this document validates as the document type specified! (I don't have an icon for this one yet, sorry.) 
    
    I added a lang="en" to the HTML tag.
    It reports this is not a valid attribute.
    So it appears to be correctly discerning between XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.1
    
    I ran it through http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ which reported:
    
      a.. Level of HTML: XHTML 1.1 
    Congratulations, no errors!
    
    The namespace is as cited by W3C.
    
    This suggests the validation is working correctly and the namespace recognition code has a problem.
    
    That's about as far as I can run with this.
    
    Regards,
    
    Ken.

      Well, I am confused. The Validation you cite, Ken, contains the following 
      caveat:
    
      Document type: unknown with namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
    
      I don't see how that signifies that your Document was Validated as XHTML 1.1. 
      Could anyone explain this, please?
