Whatpm::ContentChecker: A DOM5 HTML (in-memory representation of a document) conformance checker.

Note that all of these modules are work in progress and have a number of unresolved problems.

Perl 5.8 or later: It is recommended to use newer release of Perl 5.8 or later.
Message::IMT::InternetMediaType: Whatpm::IMTChecker depends on Message::IMT::InternetMediaType, which is part of manakai.
Message::URI::URIReference: Whatpm::URIChecker depends on Message::URI::URIReference, which is part of manakai.
manakai charlib: Whatpm::Charset::DeocdeHandle depends on modules in manakai charlib for decoding Japanese character encodings. See the documentation for manakai charlib for more information.
Message::DOM::DOMImplementation and related modules: Testing for Whatpm::ContentChecker depends on Message::DOM::DOMImplementation and related modules in manakai. They are not required in practice.
JSON: Testing for Whatpm::HTML depends on JSON and related modules. They are not required in practice.

The development version of Whatpm may be found in the CVS repository.

Bug fix (Test results: Whatpm::ContentType, HTML tokenization, HTML tree construction, Whatpm::ContentChecker).
Charset detection.
Validation for meta.
Validation for media queries, IRIs (against URI schemes), language tags, and so on.
Documentations are missing for some features.
Whatpm is a code name in fact. Please let me know if you have a better name.
In addition, each module has its own TO DO items. (Search for ## TODO and ## ISSUE in each module.)
