Description Julien Royer 2006-10-10 07:35:36 UTC 
It seems to be impossible to validate a XHTML 1.1 document.

If the "lang" attribute is not defined for the "html" element, the appc-checker test fails with the following message: "<example xml:lang='en'> shall be written as <example lang='en' xml:lang='en'>".

But using the "lang" attribute makes the markup-validator test fail as it is not a valid XHTML 1.1 attribute.

There was a bug with the (experimental) appendix C checker which unicorn uses. The checker was performing observations on document types it is supposed to ignore (HTML compatibility guidelines applu only to XHTML 1.0 documents served as text/html).
Comment 2 Olivier Thereaux 2006-10-10 08:09:14 UTC 
Fixed and tested.
