Description W.D. Haupt 2018-05-26 05:06:47 UTC
since a very short time, I suppose 2 days, I have troubles with both validatore:
they ignore the first line containing the xml-declaration and behave otherwise than expected. Example:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SVG_Simple_Icon.svg

https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Filepath/SVG_Simple_Icon.svg&ss=1#source
(Sorry! This document cannot be checked.)

The NU validator checks this file:
https://validator.nu/?doc=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/SVG_Simple_Icon.svg&group=1&schema=http%3A%2F%2Fs.validator.nu%2Fsvg-xhtml5-rdf-mathml.rnc+http%3A%2F%2Fs.validator.nu%2Fhtml5%2Fassertions.sch+http%3A%2F%2Fc.validator.nu%2Fall%2F&parser=xml&showsource=1#result

Other example: 
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Grosses_Landeswappen_Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg.svg
https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Filepath/Grosses_Landeswappen_Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg.svg&ss=1#source
(Sorry! This document cannot be checked.)

The NU-validator also does not show the first line
https://validator.nu/?doc=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Grosses_Landeswappen_Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg.svg&group=1&schema=http%3A%2F%2Fs.validator.nu%2Fsvg-xhtml5-rdf-mathml.rnc+http%3A%2F%2Fs.validator.nu%2Fhtml5%2Fassertions.sch+http%3A%2F%2Fc.validator.nu%2Fall%2F&parser=xml&showsource=1#result
-does not show the first line

To me it is an error anyway when the validator refuses to show the source code of a file without an xml-declaration. But now with this new bug I am blocked to develop tools for the Wikipedia.
