Eventually I used that. But I first tried what you have as "fbc" in the user manual, and for that option text/xml without charset is a special case (i.e. it doesn't trigger "fbc"). Maybe mention this special case on the user.html page in the "fbc" paragraph. But what I'd really prefer would be a mode to validate documents "as is" independent of any transport oddities. Ideally this mode would be the new default, and enabling to check a document in the context of its transport to the validator could be an option. Frank
