Description Terje Bless 2002-11-02 20:00:29 UTC 
Reported by Björn Höhrmann:

  http://www.bjoernsworld.de/temp/xhtml-html.xhtml is
application/xhtml+xml delivered valid HTML 2.0 document:

  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
  <title//
  <p>...

The Validator says "This Page Is NOT Valid HTML 2.0!" as a result of
using the SGML parser in XML mode [...].
Comment 1 Terje Bless 2002-11-02 20:01:17 UTC 
Not sure what, if anything, could be done about this. Targetting 0.7.0 for a review.
Comment 2 Terje Bless 2004-09-09 18:02:38 UTC 
The HTML 2.0 FPI should be allowed only with a text/html media type so if one
is found in a document served as app/*+xml we should emit a warning (possibly
a fatal error) about it.
Comment 3 niq 2004-09-20 21:05:24 UTC 
Yes we should report a fatal error.  But the wording needs changing: "this page
was sent with an XML MIME type, but is not well-formed XML"
Comment 4 Terje Bless 2004-10-12 19:20:53 UTC 
Won't make it for 0.7.0.
Comment 5 Olivier Thereaux 2007-04-02 07:30:16 UTC 
The resolution of Bug 336, with a strong warning about the bogus media type, is the best we can do for such a pathological case. Reopen if you have any better idea.
