SGML, HTML5 and/or XML ... depending on the markup language used? #138

Closed vivienlacourba closed 8 years ago

Reported by philipj on 5 Nov 2010 12:17 UTC When a HTML5 page validates without errors there's a message that says "This means that the resource in question identified itself as "HTML5" and that we successfully performed a formal validation using an SGML, HTML5 and/or XML Parser(s) (depending on the markup language used)."

Surely this cannot be true, as HTML5 has no SGML serialization, and the switch between HTML and XML parser depends on the MIME type, not "the markup language used".
