ISSUE-240: Remove requirement of validity to self-declared DTD

validityToDeclaredDTD

Remove requirement of validity to self-declared DTD

State:

CLOSED

Product:

mobileOK Basic tests

Raised by:

Dominique Hazaël-Massieux

Opened on:

2008-03-13

Description:

validity to self-declared DTD is problematic for implementations:
* it requires having SGML validation in checkers (for non XML versions of HTML)
* it requires downloading DTDs from unknown locations when a page uses a non-standard doctype.

We could:
* remove that test (given that we already have a fairly stringeant test of XHTML Basic validity)
* replace it by requiring that step only when the System ID matches a well-known DTD (which would be listed in the spec)
