I'm not kidding. The htmlhelp validator for whatever reason isn't treating
this page the way it did last week and for the past year and a half. I
routinely check 100 pages at a time with that validator, and until now it
always passed.
The w3.org validator passes this page, but says there is a character
encoding mismatch because the page has a meta tag specifying iso-8859-1 and
my server is sending utf-8 that overrides this (I just recently (july 20)
finally had the i.s.p. server declare utf-8 after being aware of the problem
for four years). Should I change the iso-8859-1 in the labels.xml document
to UTF-8? Does case matter? should it be UTF-8 or utf-8 for an xml document.
Do xml documents have doctypes? what should this one be? I am using it as
supplied by the folks at ICRA back in January 2006.
