AW: Tar-ball version differs from validator.w3.org

My problem is not that Doctype is wrong or some tags got wrong attributes. That is a hole different problem.

My problem is, that w3 validator shows me a different number of errors than the validator I installed on a server. Both are version 1.3!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards,

Swen

Not in Strict.

The Doctype there doesn't make sense. It has the formal public identifier for the HTML 4.01 Strict DTD, but the system identifier for the Transitional version . and then the rest of the document appears to be XHTML (and sadly appears to be littered with alt="", even for images that convey information).
