Unfortunately Ewgenij seems to have fixed the original problematic resource, and the issue went away. I note that the headers now sent for http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/coga/people/index.xhtml have: Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8 ... which is wrong, but at least it doesn't trip up the validator as badly. > Surely, but the validator should still be able to handle the > situation. It would be great if someone can cook a reduced test case (e.g a little php script sending the offending header) and enter a bugzilla entry: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/enter_bug.cgi?product=Validator Given how rare and pathological the issue is, I don't know if it should be solved in priority, but keeping a record of it would be valuable. -- olivier
