XHTML is case sensitive and requires all element and attribute names in lowercase. For pre-XHTML versions, case doesn't matter, and the validator shouldn't complain about it. > 2.

You would need to: 1) Customize a DTD. 2) Make your documents use it. 3) Find a validator that retrieves your DTD on demand over the net, or install one and configure it to use your DTD. The W3C validator doesn't retrieve DTDs on demand, but you can grab the source code from <http://validator.w3.org/source/>. HTH, -- \/ille Skyttä ville.skytta at iki.fi
