The problem is that the validator doesn't use the XML declaration as its trigger to use XML mode. It uses the DOCTYPE and switches to XML mode for known XML DOCTYPEs. In this case, the WAPFORUM XHTML DOCTYPE is unknown. > Manipulating the content-type in your meta doesn't help - Of course not, the meta element is absolutely useless for specifying anything but the character encoding, and then only for HTML, never for XML. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
