Hello, Oliver -- Thanks for all further clarification and references : one point remains, I think -- > As a result, I think that > what the validator does with documents served as text/html and with > DTDs it doesn't know - parsing them as SGML - is correct. OK, I'm happy with that, but less happy with what the Validator /claimed/ it was about to do, which was "Parsing will continue in SGML mode and with a fallback DOCTYPE similar to HTML 4.01 Transitional. " which you proposed to re-cast as "Parsing will continue in SGML mode." Now what the Validator /claims/ to be about to do, and what it actually does, are not necessarily the same, so could I ask -- if you amend the wording to your proposed form -- will the Validator in fact "continue in SGML mode and with a fallback DOCTYPE similar to HTML 4.01 Transitional" or just "continue in SGML mode" I'm sure you appreciate the significance of the question! ** Phil.
