Validator fails horribly on ill-formed XMLDecls: msg#00064 org.w3c.validator

Hi,

The following example document will cause horrible results by the
validator (note the missing trailing '?' in the XML declaration):

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p>...</p>
</body>
</html>

(online demo at http://www.bjoernsworld.de/temp/invalid-xmldecl.html)

First, it doesn't warn about the ill-formed XML declaration, then it
fails to detect the character encoding and prints out dozens of errors

Error: omitted tag minimization parameter can be omitted only if
"OMITTAG NO" is specified on the SGML declaration

for non-existent lines.

regards.
