[OSM-talk] Overpass outage?

[Richard]

Hi,

when trying to download data in JOSM through the Overpass API I am
getting an error

"Failed to download data: its format is either unsupported, ill-formed and/or inconsistent
 Details (untranslated): Line 2 column 3: The markup declarations contained or pointed to by the document type declaration must be well-formed"

indicating the overpass server returns ill-formed data or possibly DTD 
is inaccessible. Has anyone else seen that?

Richard
