As I recall it was based on the fact that HTML browsers (which were used to read most web content at the time) mostly did not care about whether content was valid (and often couldn't handle content if it was). This is no longer the case, particularly with more XML content, and formats such as PDF. So it is quite possible that valid content will becme a higher priority requirement in WCAG 2.0 although this is just my personal 2 cents worth regards Charles McCN On Thu, 4 Oct 2001, Craig Hadley wrote: Hello, Can someone tell me why CheckPoint 3.2 "Create documents that validate to published formal grammars" is a not Priority 1 requirement? So if asked "Can a web page be considered Priority 1 Compliant without valid html (or any other DTD)?", the answer is yes.
