Not doing the above replacements results in issues when the transcoded content is passed to other validators that care about the encoding specified in one or more of the above. There's already a hack in place for XML::LibXML (bug 4867) and some workarounds are attempted for the HTML5 validator in html5_validate() which are not enough when there's a charset or doctype override in effect, but I think it would be better to do this centrally (as part of the transcoding process?) and get rid of the parser specific hacks and workarounds. 23689 1 ville.skytta 2009-02-12 21:38:05 +0000 More info: - http://www.w3.org/mid/200902122336.17233.ville.skytta%40iki.fi - http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check.diff?r1=1.626&r2=1.627
