I am writing this so it gets in the archives, as it is a question I get asked from time to time. If you take a file in XHTML, and edit it with an HTML editor, you may create something that is not valid XHTML. Amaya, behaving as required by the XML specification, warns that there is a problem, says something about what and where it is, and stops processing. If you had loaded this as an HTML file, there would be no problem. You could save it back as an XHTML file perfectly well. For example, looking at the source, removing the namespace attribute from the html element and synchronising seems to do the trick. Do the team have any more explanation of how this happens, and what other factors (MIME type? others?) come into play?
