Description Sean Owen 2008-01-11 18:35:29 UTC 
We currently don't implement CONTENT_FORMAT_SUPPORT-5:
"If the document does not declare the html namespace on its html root
element, FAIL"
and as far as I can tell, we don't have the infrastructure to do it,
since the tidied version of the document always contains the XHTML
namespace. This suggests this needs to be detected in HTTPXHTMLResource
- maybe this can be done during one of the SAX parsing that checks the
validity?

Meanwhile, I have added a corresponding test in our test suite which
will fail until this is corrected (ContentFormatSupportTest/10).

Done by the CTIC guys:

Comment 2 Dominique Hazael-Massieux 2008-01-25 08:36:24 UTC 
This doesn't seem to work correctly: it fails on http://jampaw.com/ while the namespace is indeed there.
Comment 3 Dominique Hazael-Massieux 2008-01-25 08:56:12 UTC 
I've improved the regexp used to match the namespace declaration.

See follow-up Bug 12666 for incorrect detection of the HTML namespace when the html tag uses multiline.
