[Bug 6301] New: Check as XHTML5 for doctypeless XHTML

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6301

           Summary: Check as XHTML5 for doctypeless XHTML
           Product: Validator
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: check
        AssignedTo: dave.null@w3.org
        ReportedBy: simonp@opera.com
         QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org


Consider
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mozillaquestquest.com%2Fabout&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.606

The validator says "No DOCTYPE found! Checking with default XHTML 1.0
Transitional Document Type.".

Since XHTML5 is allowed to be doctypeless but XHTML 1.0 is not, I would suggest
to default to checking against XHTML5 instead of XHTML 1.0.
