When I view http://www.bath.ac.uk/%7Epy8ieh/internet/projects/mozilla/xml-doctype-public.xml ...I get the following message from the XML parser: XML Parsing Error: syntax error Line Number 1, Column 56: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"> The DOCTYPE declaration comes straight from the XHTML spec. I assume it is correct, but it may not be -- I know very little about XML so far... :-( [ccing David as he knew about the related bug 15027]

It's not valid. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-ExternalID There must be two parts following "PUBLIC". Marking INVALID. You should bug www-html about this, if it's in xhtml.
I couldn't find it in the xhtml spec. Where is it?

Arg, I keep finding bits of SGML that XML has junked... ;-) Yup, you're right, its invalid. Thanks. (And it's not in the XHTML spec. That comment was the result of overkeen cut and paste. Sorry.)
