Maybe the HTML standard says that, but it isn't even being treated as
HTML unless the right headers are sent through HTTP. Not all of the
formats which are transferred using HTTP are required to have a
. The is used to tell the browser what version of
HTML, etc, not whether or not it is HTML. I was never talking about
autodetection of HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, etc, but rather of whether the
document was a JPEG or an HTML document. So if the webserver says 'hey,
this is text/plain' firefox will not pretend it knows better and display
it as HTML regardless. It does not try to autodetect by reading the
document because it has already been explicitly told the document's
type. How can you argue this behavior is incorrect? It only causes
problems when there are misconfigured webservers and without it there
would be no way to send anything that resembles HTML with the intent of
displaying it as text. The validation you cite assumes the document is
HTML because thats all it validates. Web browsers need to be a little
more versatile than this. But again, everything is working perfectly for
me when I view sponsors.debian.net with FF, so perhaps this whole
argument is moot.

There should be a !DOCTYPE header within the page itself.
That's what the standard says. There should be no autodetection
involved because it is prone to error.
The first error at the validation test proves it:
[snip]
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.
1. Error Line 1 column 0: no document type declaration; implying
"".
The checked page did not contain a document type ("DOCTYPE")
declaration. The Validator has tried to validate with a fallback DTD,
but this is quite likely to be incorrect and will generate a large
number of incorrect error messages. It is highly recommended that you
insert the proper DOCTYPE declaration in your document -- instructions
for doing this are given above -- and it is necessary to have this
declaration before the page can be declared to be valid.
[/snip]
But I see there has been somebody working on this as yesterday there
were 9 errors, while today there are 6. Good work and aim for 0 ;-)
Please, again, use
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fsponsors.debian.net%2F
for the validation of web pages.

It doesn't like my email address though. Now to phrase this as a request instead of a rant: Please don't attempt to validate email addresses before delivering mail to them. The RFC2822 specification allows for a blisteringly complex set of possible addresses, and no sane pattern check will catch them all without being meaninglessly inclusive. The MTA knows how to do this check far better than any registration form code can be expected to. Instead, please allow *any* email address, then attempt to deliver mail to it for verification.

I've just played with it a little, and AFAICS it doesn't support several sponsors for one package, does it? Also maybe some mail-based handling (as in our BTS) of entries would be helpful, since I really don't like web-based interfaces. Anyway sponsors.debian.net seems to be great idea and let's wait for feedback from sponsorees ;) Maybe you should post this announce on d-devel too. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.

sponsors.debian.net beta
Lo all, http://sponsors.debian.net is now around 90% finished, so I'm looking for people to try and break it :) = So, what's this all about then? = Well, a while ago there was a great site that allowed sponsorees to request a sponsor, and a sponsor to take a sponsoree under their wing. It was not intended to last for years and to grow to such a size, and so died an untimely death. This site will (hopefully) replace it. = What this isn't = This is NOT a relacement for the Debian Mentors tools (mailing list, irc channel and repository). It's merely here to compliment these projects. = Current Features = * Auto update of done ITPs * Auto detection of ITPs by people who require sponsorship * Email submitter when a sponsor takes a package = Planned features= * Auto mailing to debian-mentors@lists.debian.org with a summary of this weeks changes (a la rc bugs stylee) * Sync with mentors.debian.net for automatically detecting sources So, please pop along and register. All the best, Neil -- __ .Ž `. [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' ! `. `Ž gpg: B345BDD3 `- Please don't cc, I'm subscribed to the list signature.asc Description: Digital signature
