Taking as a random example http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/images/struct/StandAlone01.svg its valid, and the validator whines about not knowing what the encoding is. This is particularly odd since the validator says "And I <i>even</i> tried to autodetect it using the algorithm defined in Appendix F of the XML 1.0 Recommendation." (my italics) so having failed to do what the XML spec says (its not hard, duh) and thus failed to detect that this is indeed a UTF-8 file then the validator gives up for some reason. Well, at least it doesn't say the file is valid. instead, it says it couldn't validate it which is true I suppose. JC> Is there a plan to validate SVG images at some time in the future? They are valid already, so no, there is no plan to change them. JC> This seems a rather poor practice, web accessibility and SVG have such JC> great potential! Could you elaborate?
