Hi Matt, You wrote: > 1) Parsers using this MIME type are instructed to stop processing if > the content is not well-formed. It doesn't stop for document invalidity. The lacking of well-formedness is a very common cause of validation errors (for example a <p> not closed): the consequent stop in the processing of the document would set up a direct bond between code errors and their effect on a web page. As I said in another answer, my proposal aimed at making the group aware of the risk inherent in requesting code validity in a context (web pages almost universally served as text/html) where validity may appear only a legalistic issue, without a direct and visible effect on accessibility. Greetings, Michele
