Just a thought... According to XHTML Modularization [1], all XHTML Family Document Types *must* have a DOCTYPE with an FPI that matches a certain pattern. Given this requirement, would it be reasonable to teach the validator that, at least by default, the parsing rules for documents that have a DOCTYPE that matches that pattern be "XML"? For example: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-1.dtd"> matches the pattern. The validator already does DOCTYPE sniffing, so this doesn't seem objectionable. Does it? [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/conformance.html#s_conform_naming_rules -- Shane P.
