------- Comment #1 from ot@w3.org  2006-09-06 01:10 -------
Unless I am mistaken, and assuming that you are talking about XHTML1:

* there is nothing in the XHTML 1 grammar prohibiting this construct

* the only relevant part of the XHTML1 specification is the informative
appendix C3 - http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_3

* the appendix C is only relevant in some cases (xhtml 1 served as text/html),
and has nothing to do with validation. 

* there is an appendix C checker in the works, which will warn users of XHTML 1
served as text/html of such potential problems with legacy user agents.

Hence, closing this bug as "not a bug in the validator". 

If my assessment is incorrect, feel free to clarify your report with actual
details, a pointer to a test document, and references as to why you think this
should be a validation error.

Thank you.
