Hi,
Can http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html be updated?
I have several concerns:
* It lists doctypes, not DTDs.
* The template uses lang=en but people use the template for other
languages without changing lang. (Adding text to encourage people to
change lang doesn't really help since people copy examples and don't read
text.)
* The template includes the XML declaration, which triggers quirks mode
in IE6.
* The template uses a meta tag that has no effect in most browsers and is
invalid in HTML5.
* The three doctypes for HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 are written after each
other, causing people to copy-paste all three.
* It recommends doctypes that I would not recommend. I would recommend
(for text/html) one of HTML5, HTML 4.01 Strict or possibly XHTML 1.0
Strict. (For XML I would recommend no doctype.)
* "List of DTDs for the CSS validator." seems like a bogus empty section
that should be removed.
* "Authoring tools MUST NOT use the following list." seems out of place
and should probably also be removed.
Cheers,
