I don't want to change my OS locale :-) And, I am affaid that there is no locale that will use utf-8 encoding. > > Side note: Wicket is bright new and nice package, I am > surpriced that > > it doesn't support HTML 4.0 / XHTML Strict mode standards and that > > nobody complains about it.

I know I can ommit the tags, unfortunately I cannot create valid XHTML source markup because of the wicket namespace (I cannot use validating XHTML editor such as XML Mind). This should be cured with XML Schema as Eelco pointed. If you look at samples, the helloworld is not valid HTML. (Maybe it validates with Transient versions of the standard, I didn't tried). The <span> cannot be child of <head>, <h3> cannot be inside <a> and <font> doesn't exist at all (use CSS). > > Please correct if I'm wrong, but you require to remove > <?xml?> because of IE, not because it is not (X)HTML compliant? It's because of IE: The XHTML file should be valid XML file, it means that it should have the initial XML declaration with encoding. IE (and many other browsers) have at least two modes, one that is compliant with standards (or should be) and one that is backward compatible with previouse version of the browser (called quirks mode). In order to switch browser into compliant mode, you have to feed in a special prologue, see the link in my previouse post. For instance in IE quirks mode the CSS boxing is very different from CSS standard. XML standard says, that if the initial XML declaration is not present, it utf-8 encoding should be assumed.
