You supplied a document which contained an HTML.version entity that was
that, do you not think it's reasonable for an HTML validator to use that
entity to make its reports more readable?  The key information "not valid"
is there.

Do you have a relevant test-case, so other people can see this behaviour, it
sounds like a bug to me, if the validator thinks it's invalid, it should
list the errors.
