Doctype override/fallback problem

Hi,

There seems to be a problem with using the Doctype override/fallback
feature of the File Upload section of the validator. It adds the following
line to the top of the code:

OCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">



The "<D" is missing. The first error listed is therefore:



Line 2, column 0: character data is not allowed here


���<html>


You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear.
Mistakes that can cause this error include putting text directly in the
body of the document without wrapping it in a container element (such as a
<p>aragraph</p>) or forgetting to quote an attribute value (where
characters such as "%" and "/" are common, but cannot appear without
surrounding quotes).



With regards,
Sofia
