Ladies/Gentlemen- To reiterate on a prior submitted feedback, the W3C Validator is not supporting the XHTML+ARIA 1.0 DTD as it did prior to 4 Mar 2011. On the simplest of Web documents, http://cprgltd.com, the Validator produces the following errors wherein every element and attribute produce false positives: 1. DTD did not contain element declaration for document type name 2. There is no attribute "xmlns" 3. There is no attribute "xml:lang" 4. Element "html" undefined 5. Element "head" undefined 6. Element "title" undefined 7. Element "body" undefined Obviously, on more complex and functional content pages, the false-positive reported errors by the Validator will number in the thousands. Granted there may be no more than thirty-three and one-third people who validate against the XHTML+ARIA 1.0 DTD, such does not excuse away its importance and the obvious failure of the Validator. Resolution of the problem would be appreciated or at least a formal response on why such issues cannot/will not be resolved/addressed, albeit use of a custom DTD would solve the problems. Thank you very much.
