You can validate a multinamespace document only with XML Schema and not with DTDs. DTD technologies can't be used for multi-namespaces. It's simple, so there's no problem. If Amaya produces a document which doesn't validate with XHTML 1.1 dtd, it's not anymore a valid XHTML 1.1 document. All of that said, it doesn't mean that people do not have the right to create not valid but well formed document. It might be interesting to start a module for the validator to validate multinamespaces documents with XML Schemas... but Rigo you'll have to find volunteers for that. I remind that the validator is entirely made by ***wonderful volunteers***: Terje Bless and Nick Kew and that a lot of people are participating to this effort. -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager *** Be Strict To Be Cool ***
