I see it more like a compiler warning. Your compiler often report warnings on things you know are fine. That doesn't mean your code is wrong, it does the compilation just fine. It just tells you there things you may have to look at, just in case. > mkvalidator returns an error when the file is invalid and 0 (IIRC) if > the file is valid.
