Description Olivier Thereaux 2008-08-25 21:29:58 UTC
If forcing Doctype to HTML5, the validator switches to HTML5 mode, which is != XML, hence triggering some warnings such as Namespace Found in non-XML Document. 

e.g: http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F&doctype=HTML5

These warnings should be filtered out, since HTML5 mode covers both XML and non-XML. 

Implementation: either change from the model of "mode" being TBD, SGML, XML or HTML5, or change the triggers for the warning.
