Yes, this is correct. There is a bug in the character encoding detection in the current version of the Markup Validator that is triggered by, among other things, SVG images served as image/svg+xml that makes it fail to correctly detect the character encoding in use. Without character encoding information the Markup Validator is unable to reliably validate the document (image), which is why you are seeing that error message. Note that the Validator is *not* saying that the image is invalid, only that the Markup Validator is unable to perform the validation process! The current beta release addresses this issue. There is as yet no planned release date for the final version of this release. Thanks for your feedback on this. - -- I have lobbied for the update and improvement of SGML. I've done it for years. I consider it the jewel for which XML is a setting. It does deserve a bit or polishing now and then. -- Len Bullard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP SDK 3.0.2 iQA/AwUBPwpLEqPyPrIkdfXsEQJlogCgskicDpukqXa5povg86EqFLbuknIAoNnt CfV+pX+Otd8yH1PEoR3/mZvH =CZT0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
