Description Gérard Talbot 2005-07-22 08:52:12 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1- Validate this address 
http://www.gtalbot.org/BugzillaSection/
with v.0.70

Actual results:
---------------
In the page, an error message will say:
"
Unknown Document Type and Parse Mode!
    The MIME Media Type (text/html) for this document is used to serve both SGML
and XML based documents, and no DOCTYPE Declaration was found to disambiguate
it. Parsing will continue in SGML mode and with a fallback DOCTYPE similar to
HTML 4.01 Transitional.
"

Expected results:
-----------------
There should be no error message of such nature IMO, just like there was none
with v.0.6.7

Gerard, thanks a lot for the excellent bug report.
I have added the alternate pubId for ISO HTML in cvs, it will be in our next release.
see:
http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gtalbot.org%2FBugzillaSection

(note: the message was not an error message but a warning.)

Thanks!
