Re: Validator fails horribly on ill-formed XMLDecls

Hello Bjoern,

Would the result at
http://validator.w3.org:8001/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bjoernsworld.de%2Fte 
mp%2Finvalid-xmldecl.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline
be more in line with your expectations?

Regards,   Martin.
