It's not a validator bug, it's a feature -- in that it's intentional behavior in the validator, and it's an attempt to provide you with information about what could be seen as a potential portability problem in your document. That said, if you're aware if it and you don't consider it a real problem, you can ignore the error. As far as whether Unicode Normalization Form C is actually required by HTML5: the HTML5 spec does not directly state a requirement on Unicode Normalization Form C, but I think that requirement is implicit in some direct requirement that the spec does explicitly. I can't right now point you to what the actual requirement is (because I don't know myself), but I'll find out and post a follow-up message. --Mike -- Michael[tm] Smith http://people.w3.org/mike
