As far as I understand, the W3C Markup Validator has changed its behaviour from release version 0.8.3 on, with respect to the following W3C document: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2008/ED-xhtmlmime-20080618 , especially the chapters http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2008/ED-xhtmlmime-20080618/#text-html and http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2008/ED-xhtmlmime-20080618/#application-xhtml-xml . See also the notes in the respective recent W3C QA's blog entry on http://www.w3.org/QA/2008/08/markup_validator_updated.html .
