Thanks very much for doing that -- it'll help greatly with testing.

I will take a look at all of them and see where the problems are.
Off the top of my head, I'd say that one reason for the difference
might be that when you check the corresponding content as XHTML
1.1 plus MathML 2.0 with the W3C Markup Validator, there are some
things that's not checking but that the validator.nu backend at
http://qa-dev.w3.org:8888/ is checking. In particular, the
validator.nu backend is doing some datatype checking on attribute
values which I suspect the (DTD-based) XHTML-1.1-plus-MathML-2.0
is not doing.

Anyway, I will take a look at all the errors today and see what I find.
