I just tested, and noticed the bug is present in the latest release (0.7.4) of the validator and on the validator.w3.org service, but it has been fixed in our development service. Compare: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fqa-dev.w3.org%2Fwmvs% 2FHEAD%2Fdev%2Ftests%2Finvalid_meta_multibyte.html with http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fqa-dev.w3.org% 2Fwmvs%2FHEAD%2Fdev%2Ftests%2Finvalid_meta_multibyte.html Note also, in the latter, the updated error message explanation, mentioning the possible presence of xhtml-style syntax in html. Suggested improvements for the wording are welcome. -- olivier
