Description Ville Skyttä 2004-05-23 15:15:51 UTC 
http://qa-dev.w3.org/~ville/wml-as-html.html is a valid WML 1.1 document, 
erratically sent as text/html.  Validator says "not valid" but does not give 
any further clue what's wrong.  Ideas how the output could be improved?
Comment 1 Terje Bless 2005-02-05 04:37:36 UTC 
The referenced test case seems to have gone 404 on us.

Besides, this is specific instance of the general problems of poor fallback
handling and lack of warnings for inappropriate MIME types.

Closing INVALID; reopen if I missed something on this specific case.
Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2005-02-05 09:17:00 UTC 
Duh, I'm sorry, dunno why I've removed the test case.  Will maybe revisit in the
future.
