--- Comment #2 from Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> ---
Thanks. Big (and fast(!) improvement. However, the new message goes like this:
“Warning: Obsolete doctype.
Expected <!DOCTYPE html>.“
But for the XHTML1 Transitional doctype, one gets this, much more informative
message:
“Error: Almost standards mode doctype.
Expected <!DOCTYPE html>”
Also, it seems useful to borrow spec’s exact wording - "obsolete permitted
doctype".
Therefore, please consider something like this:
”Warning: No-quirks mode, obsolete permitted DOCTYPE.
Expected <!DOCTYPE html>”
Justification: A message that just says ”obsolete doctype”, without using the
word ”error”, is a bit confusing. Also, “obsolete doctype” is very uneducating
- it is better to indicate *why* “obsolete” only leads to a warning, namely,
because the DOCTYPE triggers no-quirks mode and because it is on the list of
"obsolete permitted doctypes".
