The site seems to serve the content as XHTML 1.0 Strict. This would require
them to close all tags. Since they don't for the <img> tag, we spit an error.

Conforming user agents are required to parse and evaluate an XHTML document
for well-formedness (http://www.w3.org/TR/html/#uaconf). And the XML spec
(as well as XHTML) is quite strict. I think this is an error on the
website's part.

After further investigation I discovered that the site I was looking for is http://openvideo.dailymotion.com/ (that works fine) and not the above link.ù

I send an e-mail to Dailymotion support with this bug report.

I've seen with the Dailymotion team. It should be fixed before the end of the month.

After 13 months the XML parsing error is still here.

Has anyone heard back from Dailymotion lately? Probably a good idea to send them another e-mail and/or poke their team members about it.
