May cause potential problems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open the url as test case 2. notice the attribute "secLevel" 3. Actual Results: the wrong value of "secLevel" wasn't checked out by mozilla. Expected Results: such inconsistent attribute/other properties should be checked.
To quote bug 7015, "Mozilla will probably do document validation once the XML schema spec gets more baked. We are not planning on doing DTD based validation because DTDs will get deprecated once XML schemas become a W3C Recommendation." *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 7015 ***

OK, I see. This is also an "invalid" bug. Don't know much about xml but I just want to know if there is any potential risk of security properties implemented by xml for some application won't work in mozilla. If there isn't, everything is fine. We needn't care. Otherwise, users may abandon mozilla.
