There is nothing amazing about that; the W3C Validator obviously validates
against the SGML declaration and the DTD of the selected/detected markup
language according to its catalog of public identifiers. Which makes me
wonder what it would say about too long an attribute value.


X-Post & F'up2 ciwah, this is off-topic here.

I don’t really know what you are trying to say.

Usually the idea is to look up the FPI in the catalog and use the the
system identifier as last resort. Well, if your root element is not
declared to be ‘html’. See

Erm, yes. So?

I was talking about a *missing* system identifier that forces a catalog
lookup (using the [remaining] *public* identifier as the key, of course.)
No, quite obviously, first public identifiers are tested; if and only if
that fails, use the system identifier; if and only if that fails and the
root element of the document is `html', a basic DTD is being validated against.
There is exactly what I pointed out.
So, contrary to what "sasuke" said, it is not amazing at all that this
peculiar example of yours passes Validation. (Proper quoting on your part
would have revealed my meaning.)
