This is a problem in the XML::LibXML Perl module installed on the validator.w3.org servers - it fails to make all its error messages available to the validator and it gets only the last one in some cases which in this particular case is the least interesting/useful one of them. The problem has been fixed in more recent versions of XML::LibXML, such as the one installed on qa-dev: http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fqa- dev.w3.org%2F~ville%2Fxml-libxml-170.xhtml I've notified the server administrators about the details, hopefully it can be fixed on validator.w3.org as well.Received on Tuesday, 9 March 2010 20:46:17 GMT
