If I'd try to implement this requirement in the W3C Markup Validator I would be concerned with cases like documents that use unregistered XML media types like text/xsl that do not conform to RFC 3023, ill-formed documents, documents that are not namespace-wellformed, documents using incorrect media types like text/plain, XML 1.2/2.0 documents, documents that violate MUST requirements in XML 1.0 without causing fatal errors, documents that cannot be retrieved because the protocol is unsupported, unavailable resources (non-2xx response codes for HTTP, for example), and so on. I do not see how specific reference to XML 1.0 or XML 1.1 might help here. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
