Neither Opera nor Mozilla use validating parsers, i.e. they don't read the DTD. > That's _bizarre_, and very broken behaviour if the browsers do that. Of course, the statement above is true only if the document is declared with a MIME type such as "application/xhtml+xml", and this behaviour makes sense in that case.
