I agree, validator declares `This Page Is Valid HTML 4.01
Transitional!' despite the title entity containing a comment which is
not allowed according to
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/global.html#edef-TITLE
"Titles may contain character entities (for accented characters,
special characters, etc.), but may not contain other markup
(including comments)."
Perhaps validator justs thinks the comment is ordinary title text for
display, as does the galeon browser, but in that case I'm surprised it
doesn't warn that `<', etc., should be encoded using character entities.
I've cc'd the validator list to see if they've a view. Can people
please cc us on replies since we're not subscribed.
Cheers,
Ralph.
