See my latest reply to Henri -- we can do some creative things with the validator UI to try to address the core problem Henri describes. > Yes, there are clear differences (they even are enumerated in Laura's > updated proposal), but it appears to me that these two proposals are > relatively close in spirit.

But I am hoping at this point that we can agree for the default to be to not show the explicit error messages (or even warning or info messages), but instead to have an indicator in the validator UI (e.g., background highlighting of the "Show error messages for img elements with 'incomplete' attributes." option -- with a CSS transition or whatnot for fading the background in to get the validator user's attention). My goal is to resolution on this issue without any formal objections. Not 100% agreement on an ideal solution, but at least everybody agreeing on something they can live with. --Mike -- Michael[tm] Smith http://people.w3.org/mike
