This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Steps to reproduce: 1- Validate this address http://www.gtalbot.org/BugzillaSection/ with v.0.70 Actual results: --------------- In the page, an error message will say: " Unknown Document Type and Parse Mode! The MIME Media Type (text/html) for this document is used to serve both SGML and XML based documents, and no DOCTYPE Declaration was found to disambiguate it. Parsing will continue in SGML mode and with a fallback DOCTYPE similar to HTML 4.01 Transitional. " Expected results: ----------------- There should be no error message of such nature IMO, just like there was none with v.0.6.7 http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gtalbot.org%2FBugzillaSection%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline
Gerard, thanks a lot for the excellent bug report. I have added the alternate pubId for ISO HTML in cvs, it will be in our next release. see: http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gtalbot.org%2FBugzillaSection (note: the message was not an error message but a warning.) Thanks!
