I'd like to point out that the ease and speed with which I spotted the problem and the work-around should serve as high praise for the module author -- espcially considering that I had never seen (let alone used) this module before (in fact, I installed it on my mac just to try out the OP code, and getting to the answer was a matter of minutes).

The HTML::Lint code is very well put together, and my gripe about "attitude" was purely for amusement.

(update: but I am still curious/mystified why the use of entity references for non-ASCII characters should count as a "STRUCTURAL" issue...)
