A little more would be nercessary. You would have to map all xhtml namespace 
to default prefix and remove the declaration. All other namespaces would have 
to generate an error. When I know someone will commit it, I can make this 
patch for HTMLSerializer.

You can use tidyserializer for the same via views. For this purpose, a 
stylesheet would also be OK. But it wouldn't be simply indenting. You have to 
check for xml:strip-space and friends. That's why I haven't done it so far.

Yesno. I want it as part of quality assurance.

JH> Validating every request on live systems is too much resource consuming.

Not that real, when it (hopefully) is integrated in xalan some time. For xslt 
2.0 type handling, there has to be (IMHO) validation inside. It only has to 
be forceable for output.

Redirecting to a internal error page, like with other errors to.

That's what I actually do more or less. I validate all generated files via 
xmllint. I am looking for a cleaner solution which enforces this already in 
cocoon. When this is a parameter or a view, even better.
