See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html-editor/2002OctDec/0023 where changing the HTML 4.01 Recommendation to reflect this has been re- quested. The HTML Working Group did not address this issue yet. The plan here is basically that we will use such a SGML declaration and change the OpenSP output such that these things will be flagged as warnings, similar to what the WDG HTML Validator does. This will have to wait for adoption of the SGML::Parser::OpenSP module and various other changes, the current infrastructure of the Validator does not really allow for this. http://esw.w3.org/topic/MarkupValidator/M12N has some additional thoughts relative to this. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
