Please file a bug against iCab. If it doesn't understand the doctype or can't find one it should fall back to quirks mode "tagsoup". Defaulting to XML or XHTML is clearly a bug. > I've managed to correct pages on my website so all of mine I hope are in > the green. I've converted all to at least XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Big mistake. You should have converted to HTML5 which is the official successor to all the previous HTML as well as current XHTML standards (there won't be a XHTML 2.0).
