Hi, Just tried validating google's homepage to see what would come back and something seems horribly broken. It's detecting it as HTML5, yet when if I grab it with wget I get a very strange looking doctype: <!doctype html> When I force it to 4 strict, I get even stranger things happening. I get errors like: Error Line 7, Column 741: Attribute "BGCOLOR" is not a valid attribute. Did you mean "bgcolor"? yet the code it highlights has a lowercase bgcolor: ?alse};</script></head><body bgcolor=#ffffff text=#000000 link=#0000cc vlink=# It's obviously missing quotes, but why is the attributes case being complained about? Not quite sure what's going on, or am I missing something obvious? -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/
