Can you give some examples to >illustrate this? When you use DOCTYPE html HTML4.dtd in your catalog and try to validate a document with an unrecognized DOCTYPE such as <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//FOO//DTD FOO 99.0//EN"> or <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//w3c//dtd html 3.2 final//EN"> SP will assume HTML4.dtd without issuing an error message. (At least this is how my locally hacked SP behaves. I don't think it's from anything I changed.) -- Liam Quinn
