Re: Amaya 7.2a complains about well-formed XHTML

Hello Christoph,

You are right, there is actually a bug with this document.
This bug occurs for documents with no doctype declaration AND with a BOM 
character.
It is now fixed in the CVS base and will be available in the next release 
(mid-April).

Thanks for the report

Laurent Carcone
