Description Takis Pournaras 2004-09-27 21:26:01 UTC 
This is the portion of my XHTML file that doesn't validate:

<table>
  <thead>GREEK TEXT HERE</thead>
  <tr>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>...</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>...</td>
    <td>...</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Mind that I have set the encoding correctly.

Please have a look at the definition of the thead element in the HTML 4.01 
Recommendation, it seems you confuse it with <caption>; the Validator complains 
here because you have to include <tr>/<td> elements in the <thead> element. The 
encoding problems in the Validator output are known and probably subject of 
another Bugzilla entry, so this would be invalid/duplicate.
