Dear XHTML 1.1 editors,
In the document XHTML 1.1 Recommendation [1]
http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xhtml11-20010531
We can read in the source code:
...................................................................
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy, see www.w3.org" />
<title>XHTML 1.1 - Module-based XHTML</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="xhtml.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"
href="http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/TR/W3C-REC" />
<?xml-stylesheet href="xhtml.css" type="text/css" media="screen" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet
href="http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/TR/W3C-REC" type="text/css"
media="screen" ?>
<link rel="next" type="text/html" href="introduction.html" />
...................................................................
But the Recommendation Associating stylesheets with XML documents [2] says:
........
The xml-stylesheet processing instruction is allowed only in the
prolog of an XML document. The syntax of XML constrains where
processing instructions are allowed in the prolog; the xml-stylesheet
processing instruction is allowed anywhere in the prolog that meets
these constraints.
........
So when the document is passed to the HTML validator [3], it is valid
against the XHTML 1.1 DTD but not against this Recommendation [2]. I
don't know if it's something the HTML Validator should check in the
future.
Modularization of XHTML [4] seems to have the same problem.
PS: Thanks to Max Froumentin, W3C, to have discovered the problem.
