If somebody managed to declare charset=Unicode, let alone
encoding="Unicode", and the validator then presents a nasty
error message, it's okay.

You lost me here, lacking SGML knowledge on my side.

Yes... the example claimed to be something WAPFORUM XHTML,
and therefore I tried an XHTML BASIC override first before
transitional.  But a user wants "do what I mean" if he has
a "special" DTD, anything the validator doesn't know.  The
validator could cache popular DTDs if that's an issue.

With the Unicorn alpha test 2 of my 4 tests failed, the 2
were documents with "unusual" DTDs (HTML i18n, CharMapML).
