[Petal] Petal requires invalid XHTML documents

Wed Oct 8 19:56:36 BST 2003

Jean-Michel,

In the process of fixing my html docs to be xhtml valid for use with the
new MKDoc::XML parser, I have discovered that the W3C validator does not
like the xmlns:petal nor the petal: attributes. Try passing the attached
file through the validator to see the output.

This document is successfully processed by Petal despite being invalid
XHTML. Is there any way we can make Petal templates be valid XHTML or is
this beyond the realm of possibility because Petal is designed to
process XML documents rather than XHTML documents?

Thanks,
William
