This error message (and the decoding of the bytes as utf-8) all are part of the Encode perl module. http://search.cpan.org/dist/Encode/ The validator can of course work around issues, and rewrite messages from modules it uses, but if indeed there are issues/suggestions, it may be worth reporting them upstream. http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Encode Thanks, olivier -- olivier Thereaux - W3C - http://www.w3.org/People/olivier W3C Open Source Software : http://www.w3.org/Status
