(it can be found here http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/conformance.html#strict ) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml11.xsd" xml:lang="en" > <head> <title>Virtual Library</title> </head> <body> <p>Moved to <a href="http://example.org/">example.org</a>.</p> </body> </html> This shouldn't be possible, I guess. 21669 1 ot 2008-08-27 20:31:52 +0000 After looking around a little, it looks like the validator is using the Recommendation (stable standard) version of the DTD in its catalog, while XHTML 1.1 has gone back to working draft. in sgml-lib/xml.soc -- XHTML -- PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "REC-xhtml11-20010531/xhtml11-flat.dtd" PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES XHTML 1.1 Document Model 1.0//EN" "REC-xhtml11-20010531/xhtml11-model-1.mod" updating the DTD in my local instance of the validator (and on http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/ ) does NOT seem to have done the trick. I will check again when I return from this trip, in a week or so. 21959 2 granroth 2008-09-19 15:00:11 +0000 I also ran into this bug while attempting to build a page using the doctype from the referenced page. The error pointed to xsi:schemaLocation as an issue. I'm just a user of the validator, so don't know the ins-and-outs. Two basic observations: 1. The namespace prefix xsi on the schemaLocation attribute doesn't seem to register, so checking the attribute xsi:schemaLocation would fail outright. 2. Since 1, schemaLocation fails as it 1. isn't a listed attribute name 2. it is uses mixed-case 23395 3 ot 2009-02-02 21:22:21 +0000 The example given now validates fine. I suspect whatever transient issue with the DTD hosted by the XHTML WG has recently been fixed.
