Given the proper Doctype, sure.
However, firefox refuses a lot. This does not mean it's not valid. The char 
entity problem is well-known, but invalid (firefox only uses DTDs out of 
the chrome scheme, for whatever reason). The doc build system incorporates 
all HTML char entities and is the authoritative source whether a document 
can be transformed or not.

The docs at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/docsformat.html imply 
that modern browsers should work and that an older browser might not, 
and when Firefox didn't my first thought was that the XML was at fault, 
and not Firefox.

Is it possible to update this page to clarify that one should always 
rely on the reference transformation using Xalan+Xerces because 
concluding anything is broken? At the moment, emphasis is placed on 
Xalan+Xerces being used to prevent massive diffs only.

Regards,
Graham

Hi to all,

2.2.x branche

File manual/caching.xml

--- Line 627:
Probably "Thie hash incorporates" would rather be "This hash incorporates"

Yep, quite complicated - it has to do with Mozilla not loading  
external entities, etc. It's a long-known bug (since ~2000, see bugs  
#22942, #69799, #255747 and several others in Mozilla's Bugzilla);  
there are several work-arounds like using only internal entity defs,  
using &#xA0 and co or even populating Mozilla's <bin>/res/dtd  
directory but not one of them is really practical so we decided to  
just live with it... :(

Cheers,
Erik

Are those red cars or yellow cars?

Fixed in trunk and 2.2, thanks.
