HTML 4 Spec error: Violates RFC 2616?

Hello everyone,

Is the HTML 4.01 Specification in error when it recommends
the use of below (three) properties (HTTP/1.1 header fields)
that are not listed in RFC 2616, section 14?

(http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html)

Content-Script-Type
<META http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="type">
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interac...default-script

Content-Style-Type
<META http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present...#default-style

Default-Style
<META http-equiv="Default-Style" content="compac t">
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present....html#h-14.3.2

Erm, perhaps not so much in error as in cloud-cuckoo land :-)

But it's not a violation or contradiction of RFC2616, which explicitly
permits private extensions.

Hi, I converted most (not all) of my pages at http://johnbokma.com/ to XHTML. I thought this was just a small change from 4.01. However someone stated quite vaguely that my pages are *not* XHTML since when a UA requests a page and states that it can handle XML the server still responds with a Content-type: text/html I see that http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ does the same (Firebird)

As you might have noticed I'm trying to clean up my web site's HTML code. The way I do it is simply more or less redoing to complete site, testing it on a web server I have set up on my local network. I have downloaded, and installed CSE HTML Validator Pro, but I don't get the same results with that as I do with the online validator on W3.org. And I can't upload files to W3.org either, due to all the ASP code I use.

Hi everyone, Is the W3C HTML Validator in error when it returns <br /> as valid for HTML 4.01 Strict doctype? In March 2004 , the Validator returned <br />, <hr /> and <img /> as invalid for HTML 4.01 Strict. Liam Quinn said "You can't mix HTML and XHTML. You need to choose one or the other syntax."

Hi, I'm programming some PHP discussion board that is supposed to appear inside the content area of a proprietary CMS. As I need some more styles than the standard stylesheet provides, I just added a <style> tag inside my HTML code. It works fine in all the browsers I tested, but it seems to be more of a hack than a valid solution.

(Please CC me on any replies as I'm not on the list) Hi, After a recent power failure, a program that uses a pgsql backend (netdisco) started to send me nastygrams. I tried the author's suggestion of running a VACUUM FULL ANALYZE VERBOSE;, but it still sends me the messages. The data in the database isn't too important, i.e. I'm willing to blow away data to try to fix the problem. Any suggestions?

HTMLPurifier is a new PHP library that filters HTML so that not only is XSS thwarted, but the resulting HTML is standards-compliant! It's licensed under LGPL, and is currently undergoing beta testing (beta meaning that validation routines for a few shorthand CSS properties and deprecated HTML properties are missing, but everything else is there). The main difference from HTMLPurifier is that while older packages like kses and HTML_Safe...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
