I'd have to agree with adding a warning, I've seen a lot of developers see the WAI guideline about using the latest available spec, and put an XHTML 1.1 doctype at the top. Especially for .Net or similar developments, where you just select from a doctype drop-down, and the validator doesn't show any sign of a problem. Perhaps something similar to the mis-matched encoding warning? That gave me pause for thought when I realised my server didn't agree with my encoding! Cheers, -Alastair
