And if *you* look with a little care, you will see that

a) its a valid file
b) it doesn't use iso-8859-1 encoding (otherwise it would have an
encoding declaration) so the relevance of your subject line to the
thread remains mysterious.


JC> here is an example of the validation error message:

If you look with a little care, you will see that I quoted that
message in my response to your original query, and furthermore
explained why it is wrong, so I am mystified that you merely repeat it
back to me.

And thus, not specific to the example you quoted.

As several responses explained, this is an issue with the (ex-HTML)
validator; the replacement validator, currently in beta, would be the
next thing to check.

I assume that you have read the XML specification, and know for what
encodings an encoding declaration is required?

JC> please can you respond to the original query posted below?

Could you please read the responses to your original query before
merely repeating it? Or if you don't understand the responses, say so
rather than just repeating your question and ignoring both the
information in the responses and the questions they asked you.

JC> thanks
