ISSUE-193: Is 3.26 VALID_MARKUP redundant with 3.4 CONTENT_FORMAT_SUPPORT

Is 3.26 VALID_MARKUP redundant with 3.4 CONTENT_FORMAT_SUPPORT

State:
CLOSED
Product:
mobileOK Basic tests
Raised by:
Sean Owen
Opened on:

Description:
3.4 CONTENT_FORMAT_SUPPORT says:
If the document does not validate against the XHTML Basic 1.1 DTD (regardless of
its stated DOCTYPE), FAIL

3.26 VALID_MARKUP says:
If it is an HTML document and it fails to validate according to its given
DOCTYPE, FAIL

These are not quite the same thing, but nearly so. The difference is that 3.26
passes on any doc that validates according to its own DTD, whether that DTD is
for XHTML or ham sandwiches.

The question is, is it useful to report that a document merely validates, versus
validating according to the XHTML Basic / MP DTDs? If no, then, we should
combine the two and rename 3.4 to \"3.4 CONTENT_FORMAT_SUPPORT and VALID_MARKUP\"
