Interesting, I've just tested it. It doesn't like redirections
(no big issue) and insists on UTF-8 for all documents without
XML-encoding (a showstopper for my pages, I hate the garbage
effect with legacy browsers).
Apparently I should really soon upgrade all lang="xy" to the
correct lang="xy" xml:lang="xy" <sigh />
And it told me that if I try post-modern stuff like <fieldset>
it MUST begin with <legend>. That's apparently true (says the
nice WDG HTML4 OS/2 INF file), but why oh why isn't it in the
XHTML 1.0 DTDs ?

Okay, but for the real error your tool found it's _apparently_
an inaccuracy in the DTDs. Any chance to report and fix this ?
I've no clue about W3C procedures.
Bye, Frank
