"!doctype" in lowercase. First, the fallback in sgml.soc: DOCTYPE html REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd This causes confusion because there is nothing in the output that would indicate that a doctype wasn't found and that such a fallback is being used. Something should be done to this, maybe removed altogether if a better alternative is not found. Second, if the above fallback is removed, validator still doesn't recognize the doctype (due to lowercase doctype declaration and HTML::Parser's xml_mode) but goes on to validate using sgml.soc and SGML rules (so onsgmls will retrieve the online XHTML DTD but will not emit a AVERSION...), and says "This document is not Valid !" but does not mention that it did not properly recognize the document type. 1859 1 link 2004-05-17 16:45:15 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 705 ***
