Actually I think that you are totally right... an XML parser with access the 
the XHTML Strict DTD should do that validation.
 
Will think about it

Hi Benoit,

I don't know of an easy way to do this - however I agree it would be extremely 
valuable. I think right now the only approach is to download a validating 
parser from W3.org (or something). I don't know of any validating parsers in 
Java, but I haven't done an exhaustive search. However if you'd like to propose 
a patch to include this validating functionality, that would be great!

Since you're using XHTML, one easy solution might be to parse the XHTML with an 
XML parser - at the very least, this would mean you'd get notified of broken 
tags, etc.

Cheers
Jevon

        Hi 

        Like my little "spider" test, is there an easy mechanism to check that 
all pages are following the document type? Eg. XHTML.

        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd> ">

        So I guess some kind of offline validation (http://validator.w3.org/ 
<http://validator.w3.org/> ) would be useful to detect as part of our build... 
As soon as our webmaster starts to get too 'fancy' this would be detected...

        Thanks,
