You didn't specify the XHTML namespace, WFM once you add that.

[Dave Townsend [:mossop] (PTO until July 20)]

WFM too.

Ok, sorry for forgetting that.

But, once again, let me be skeptic. If my page is validating agains the W3C
validator without the namespace, should Mozilla act as like it had a XHTML
document? Or the problem is with the validator?

The thing is that I still see a problem here: a bug. Either from Mozilla or from
the W3C validator. Do you understand me?

Just because a page validates doesn't mean it conforms. Validation is a subset
of conformance and will miss things like this.
