Perhaps so, but surely the validator should not say that the document
is valid, even if it (acceptably) does not report the error? How can a
document be determined to be valid if it cannot be checked against a
DTD? With the separator between the two identifiers, the document is
reported as being valid HTML 4.01 strict. Without the separator, the
document is simply valid - what does that mean?
