If the W3C Markup Validator uses nightly builds of editor's drafts rather than W3C Candidate Recommendation as "the current spec", it is becoming more and more questionable to use it. Declaring literally billions of pages invalid just because they declare ISO-8859-1 helps nobody and makes people ask what the validator is for. People use validators to find real problems they might have, not to get confused about error messages that reflect just someone's opinions du jour. Yucca
