I got the following mail: > The page at http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-documents.html > starts with this: > > <H1> > W3C™ Copyright Document Notice and License > </H1> > > This "™" is invalid and should be either "™", "™" or > "&trade". Checking this with the validator http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FConsortium%2FLegal%2Fcopyright-documents.html I got No errors found! This is definitely wrong. Please note that Character encoding: iso-8859-1 Warning: the character encoding specified in the HTTP header (iso-8859-1) is different from the one specified in the META element (windows-1252). I will use iso-8859-1 for this validation. does not affect the fact that it is wrong; if there were a byte value corresponding to 153, it would be okay as windows-1252, but ™ is not allowed in any HTML document. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html#h-5.3.1 The syntax "&#D;", where D is a decimal number, refers to the Unicode decimal character number D. (there is no character number 153 in Unicode!) This seems to point to a problem in the validator. It looks like the invocation of nsgmls should be changed, or the version of nsgmls, or there is a problem in nsgmls itself. If I can help in any way to correct this problem, please tell me.
