Description Gunnar Bittersmann 2006-01-10 05:05:28 UTC 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
		<title>Test</title>
	</head>
	<body id="foo"class="bar"lang="baz">
	</body>
</html>

This passes as Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, but should not IMHO.

    [40] STag ::= '<' Name (S Attribute)* S? '>' [XML10]

requires whitespace between attributes in XML, hence in XHTML.

(Im not sure if this applies to HTML/SGML as well.)

Comment 1 Bj 2006-01-10 05:07:55 UTC 
The Validator should generate a warning for this and this is a known issue, the 
Validator points out this limitation whenever validating XML documents; also, 
this is likely a duplicate of some other bug...
Comment 2 Olivier Thereaux 2007-10-02 06:09:46 UTC 
fixed in 0.8.0 with addition of libxml parsing.
Test case added to suite.
