RE: [VE][232] getting this error Error [232]: "number of attribute names and name tokens (X) exceeds ATTCNT (Y)"

Hi Olivier, I am creating some modified DTD's for HTML4.01 and XHTML 1.0,
Is there any chance that these can be added to the W3C validator as
experimental (X)HTML+ARIA DTD's?
So that they can be used as DOCTYPE override selections?



with regards

Hi Steve, all

I only vaguely recall past issues with ATTCNT and somewhat remember  
that changing that value could be problematic for "standard" DTDs but  
I can't find any specific pointer, so we might as well try and test:
I upped the ATTCNT in the SGML declaration, and we can test on the  
development version of the validator at:
http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.paciellogroup.com%
2Fblog%2Fmisc%2Flandmarks.html

If this change does not affect validation against other DTDs (need to  
run test suite), this change should make the next release.

Cheers,
