Pages failing w3c validation
My tapestry based web site (at the url in my signature) is failing w3c
validation (see http://validator.w3.org/). It appears this is because HTML
doesn' support the closing of tags within the head.
Since this all generated by the @Shell component, I assume that the default
DOCTYPE being generated (since I don't specify any alternative) is being
used.
Searching back over this list, I don't see any recent discussion of this.
Have other people run across this problem, and what do you do about it.
(I only noticed, because the site doesn't display properly in Internet
Explorer and I don't understand why - so I asked on a the css discuss list
and the only response I got back was about failing validation).

I understand the separation of concerns arguement, although in this case there
is just me acting as designer coder and general dogs body. Without the
specification files (unless there is no java, in which case I make a
component specification) I have less continual cross checking.
I thought that was the direction Tap4 was taking everyone.

A questionable choice, outside of prototypes and tutorials.

When I have "difficult" literal text, I put it inside a message
catalog (.properties file) and reference it using the message: binding
prefix.
<html jwcid="@Shell" stylesheet="ognl:pageStyle"
title="ognl:siteTitle" delegate="ognl:siteCSS"
doctype="message:doctype">

Since my style is not to have specification files, and to include everything
in the html, I did this (ie escaping the quotes)
<html jwcid="@Shell" stylesheet="ognl:pageStyle"
title="ognl:siteTitle" delegate="ognl:siteCSS"
doctype="html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\"
\"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\"">
But tapestry is now saying it can't parse my page.
What is the correct way of including quotes "in-line"

The default doctype is html 4 trasitional. Try setting the doctype to
XHTML transitional. I think that will solve the problem.
<component id="shell" type="Shell">
<binding name="doctype">
literal:html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"
</binding>
</component>
