Hi Chris At 20:10 4/05/2006, Chris Ridpath wrote: <quote> (...)So all XML documents must be, at least, well formed. But now on to H74 which applies to only HTML and XHTML: "Ensuring that all id attribute values are unique for the document AND that opening and closing tags are used according to specification" The "used according to specification" text must mean the tags must validate. I think it also means there must be a specification (DTD) present in the document. The text "opening and closing tags" must mean all tags in the document. (Can a tag be anything other that an opening or closing tag?). So does this mean that all HTML and XHTML documents must have a DTD and validate? </quote> Have you read the test procedure? It says: 1. Check that all id attribute values are unique. 2. Check that there are closing tags for all elements with required closing tags. 3. Check that there are no closing tags for all elements where closing tags are forbidden. 4. Check that opening and closing tags for all elements are correctly nested. This is not a requirement for DTD validity.
