Hi all, Congrats on the new version of the validator. IMO the new look is a big improvement on the old one. I have a question about the check script, and I hope it isn't out of place here. I'm trying to understand the conditions under which the validator will generate certain warnings. The function set_parse_mode() in check can trigger warnings W06 and W08 which are similar. I can trigger W06 by validating a document that meets these conditions: - Mime type = text/html - Doctype either absent or FPI not in the validator's catalog - No XML declaration. Looking at the check script, I *thought* this would trigger W08 via the test on line 1979. I can't figure out (a) why it didn't and (b) how to do so. The fact that I don't know Perl probably has something to do this... I'd very much appreciate it if someone could give me a hint as to how to trigger W08.
