Re: Main WCAG 2.1 recommendation page invalid

Hi Ed,

Thank you for taking the time to write. And thank you for the tone and approach of your message.

 From a couple quick checks, I do not find validation errors. For example:
 https://validator.w3.org/nu/?showoutline=yes&doc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FTR%2FWCAG21%2F

We are having website problems (more info at https://www.w3.org/2003/08/system-status ) and I wonder if by chance that is the cause? Although I can't think how.

If you want us to look into this more, would you be willing to share more on where you think it is invalid and not well-formed? For example, if a validator tool is giving that result?

Thanks much,
~Shawn

I believe this is somewhat in violation of pre-requisites as laid out in https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/parsing.html. Looking at the markup it looks like someone mixed HTML5 and xHTML elements, but that's from a cursory analysis.
