Hello. When examining my website [1] I get this error: ³This document has not passed the test: W3C XHTML 1.0 Appendix C checker: XML declarations are problematic. See HTML Compatibility Guideline 1: Processing Instructions and the XML Declaration². However, I do use ISO-8859-1 as the character set, so I believe I have to include the XML declaration, as its absence makes UTF-8 or UTF-16 the actual character set, an inconvenience for a non-English language. I think Unicorn should only warn for a possible ³problematic² issue, but not to mark its inclusion as an absolute error, provided: 1.- The Standard considers that this declaration SHOULD be included so it could be supressed only when serious reasons concur. 2.- Omitting it when character sets other than UTF-8 or 16 are used may cause unexpected problems, so I think itıs convenient for ISO-8859-1 Ricardo de la Vega [1] http://www.hipocampo.org/
