Changes since last release

Bug fix - revalidation in upload mode
Some documentation updates
Added support for XHTML Basic, XHTML Mobile Profiles (1.0, 1.1 and 1.2), XHTML+RDFa and the historical HTML i18n
Bug fix: the validator won't override a given document type with itself
the HTTP headers now also report the number of warnings (previously: only errors)
To faciliate checking of negotiated resources, added an experimental Accept-Charset CGI parameter, in addition to Accept and Accept-Language
for documents with doctype declarations, warn about incorrect public/system identifiers combinations
if the root element has a namespace, and even neither mime type, doctype nor xml declaration have helped detect the proper parse mode, switch to XML checking mode.
If the document has no doctype but we are in XML mode and a root namespace was found, filter out the "no doctype" errors.
For documents with no character encoding declaration, try decoding as utf-8, then windows-1252, then iso-8859-1 (instead of giving up only after utf-8, as before)
Check results changed wording: less "validation" and more "checking", which is a more honest/accurate description of what the tool does
