http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6296 --- Comment #6 from Olivier Thereaux <ot@w3.org> 2008-12-10 16:39:03 --- (In reply to comment #4) > The validator *could* say that "well, this isn't XML, so I'm going to validate > as HTML 4.01 instead" (or refuse to validate). But I digress. I think it would be counter productive to do that. If I am declaring XHTML 1.0, authoring valid XHTML 1.0 but serving it as text/html because I can't change my server config (the case for most people) or because I want the pages to show in IE6, I wouldn't want the validator to tell me "you suck! this is not valid HTML4.01". A bad way to alienate people, IMHO > &debug=1 is good to know... However, my request still stands. There's no parser > override. I believe it's quite possible to provide parser and MIME information > while keeping the UI not-too-complicated. Why not. I was about to ask for separate bugzilla items, but see you did that already. Thanks! Patches and/or UI suggestions welcome, too. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
