I tried validating the example from the XHTML1.1 rec [1].:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" >
<head>
<title>Virtual Library</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Moved to <a href="http://vlib.org/";>vlib.org</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>
Our XML Validator (xmlvalid) [2] validated the document without complaint.
RXP [3] was successful (except for some warnings about redefinitions of
PEs).
These were the only two I tried, so perhaps the state of XML 1.0 validation
isn't so bad after all?
By the way, validating this document involves a fair amount of external
entity fetching (try xmlvalid --verbose for a laugh), so I wouldn't
recommend doing it regularly without a local copy of the DTD and an OASIS
XML Catalog [4] !
