RE: HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0

Hmm, the Doctype you used there is not what the document at the W3C says
it should be.

What I was reading says this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/strict.dtd">


Please see this:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/struct/global.html#h-7.2

Thanks for looking into this.

Hmm. I have a couple bugfixes in an internal version that I
haven't committed yet, but this isn't one of them.

It detects and reports HTML 4.01 in this case:

    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.w3.org/TR/html40

Do you have an example URI that causes it not to work?
