Hi,

I'm serving my templates as HTML4 strict instead of XML (xhtml1.1) and noticed that since 2.3 the SS parser is self/autoclosing metatags and the base tag, something it didn't do before and this breaks w3c validation.

Anyone else noticed this?

I'm wondering if this is done on purpose or if it's a bug. If no bug, what's the way around?

Thanks

The solution:

Turns out that since 2.3 the ContentNegotiator is DISABLED by default. See http://open.silverstripe.com/changeset/68484

Putting ContentNegotiator::enable(); in _config.php solves the problem.
