Possible objection to change in markup validation service from “Markup Validation Service (W3C Markup Validator)” to “Validator.nu”. Undo revision?

During the following revision of @Perhelion:

• 22:52, 24 July 2016‎ Perhelion (talk | contribs)‎ . . (3,464 bytes) (+180)‎ . . (→‎top: lf - new better more constant validator),

the button which validates the markup of the uploads was changed from

–Validition Check of this file (which links to http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Filepath/Test.svg&doctype=SVG+1.1&ss=1#source)

to

–Validition Check of this file (which links to https://validator.nu/?doc=https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Filepath/Test.svg&showsource=1#source)

Could the user @Perhelion: please motivate that choice? I do not support this change, because, for example, that validator service “Validator.nu” does not check for XML 1.0 validity constraints. That is, DTD validation is not performed. This can create annoying warnings. Observe, for instance, the following file:

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Group structure and statistics of “Gourmet Master Co. Ltd.”, as of 31 December 2017 - 「開曼美食達人股份有限公司」的集團架構及統計，截至2017年12月31日.svg

If one checks the upload using the canonical “Markup Validation Service (W3C Markup Validator”) using the Markup Validation Service (W3C Markup Validator), then one receives no warnings at all ("Result: Passed").

If one checks the same file using the Validator.nu service), then one receives the following warning:

Warning: skipping entity: [dtd]

At line 2, column 98

I am looking forward to hearing your comments, Vincent Mia Edie Verheyen (talk) 13:31, 11 July 2018 (UTC).

Answered here. That DTD validation doesn't matter for us, because our librSVG doesn't recognize DTD and it is also not needed nor really recommended for SVG, s. Help:SVG#Validation -- User: Perhelion 07:13, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
