Good day,
First
with Validator Pro 11.0032 I get the (new?) message (Warning for line 9)
The natural primary language is not specified. It is highly recommended that the "lang" and/or "xml:lang" (for XHTML) attribute be used with the "html" tag to specify the primary language. For example, use lang="en" for English or lang="fr" for French. Specifying the language assists braille translation software, speech synthesizers, translation software, and has other benefits.
My line 9 is
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Sorry, i do not understand the warning and could not find a tip, what do I have to to?
Second
with Validator Pro 11.0032 I get the (new?) Comment
Editing Tip: This document was specified as UTF-8 encoded. Editing documents with the wrong encoding may cause document corruption. Make sure that any editor used to edit a document properly supports the document's encoding and properly loads it with the correct encoding. CSE HTML Validator's editor supports UTF-8 and other common encodings.
I have defined:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
and
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
I translate all german special characters as "ä, ß" etc.
I use only HTML Validator's editor, so I have no problems or?
Thanks for answers
and greetings
Happy Christmas
and a Good New Year 2012

You can use something like this (assuming the primary language of your page is English):
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
No, you shouldn't have any problems with recent versions of CSE HTML Validator's editor as it should see the XML declaration that specifies UTF-8 encoding and thus open the document with that encoding; but if you ever see that characters are not what they should be, then there is a problem and you should investigate further before saving the document as there is the possibility of corruption.Walter Metzger wrote:Second

Re: natural primary language and Editing Tip
Good evening Albert,
I replaced
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
with
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de" lang="de">
and the message "warning" no longer appears.
Thanks for your help
Walter
