regarding: "2.1. Document Conformance A Conforming XHTML Basic document is a document that requires only the facilities described as mandatory in this specification. Such a document must meet all of the following criteria: 1.It must validate against the DTD found in Appendix B. [...]" -- http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xhtml-basic-20000210 What do you mean by "validate against"? Per XML 1.0, 'valid' is descriptive of XML documents, not a relationship between documents and DTDs. c.f. http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#dt-valid You could say: It must be a valid XML 1.0 document, and its document type declaration must be: <!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xhtml-basic-20000210/xhtml-basic10-model-1.mod"> but I don't know what you mean by 'validate against'. -- Dan Connolly http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
