I suspect it's for much the same reason why a truncated message is given when a colon is used in entity reference names. I mentioned this back in 2003-05-17, and was given an explanation. It might be informative to you. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2003May/0053.html The Markup Validation Service v0.6.5 [Beta #1] provides a more complete message. http://validator.w3.org:8001/ -- Jock
