Description J David Eisenberg 2010-07-08 05:08:39 CEST

After choosing "Polyglot: works as both HTML and XHTML" from the Profile drop-down (leaving all other drop-downs at their default), the following code is deemed valid, even though the first paragraph is missing its closing </p> tag, and thus does not work as XHTML.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>

<body>
<p>
First paragraph
<p>
another paragraph
</p>
</body>
</html>

The polyglot feature has now been disabled because work on completing it was never finished. It may eventually be re-enabled if somebody decides to put more work into finishing it. If so, feel free to reopen this bug then (or file a new one).
