Gerald,
I just began the work organization for an XHTML Test Suite, so I'm
trying things in the validator.
In http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#docconf
3.1.1 Strictly Conforming Documents
A Strictly Conforming XHTML Document is a document that requires only
the facilities described as mandatory in this specification. Such a
document must meet all of the following criteria:
1. It must validate against one of the three DTDs found in Appendix A.
2. The root element of the document must be <html>.
3. The root element of the document must designate the XHTML
namespace using the xmlns attribute [XMLNAMES]. [...cut...]
4. There must be a DOCTYPE declaration in the document prior to the
root element. [...cut...]
So we could have a very minimal document as
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
</html>
but this doesn't work. It doesn't work
if you add.
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head></head>
<body></body>
</html>
But this one is OK
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title></title></head>
<body></body>
</html>
