Bad Validator. No, it would make this a part of the informal part of the Document Type Declaration and, much like the other parts of the specification which are described only in the prose, one which we cannot test in the Validator. Whether or not that makes it "Not Strictly Conforming" is a matter for the HTML WG and/or www-html to discuss. But as mentioned, if the HTML WG is willing to give me an excuse for it, I'm willing to use modified DTDs to enable this. An errata on the XHTML 1.0 Recommendation... A note from the HTML WG suggesting this is the intended or desireable behaviour (cf. the TAG's recent penchant for issuing "formal opinions")... etc. This has to come from the HTML WG; I can't make this change unilaterally!
