No. Conformance checkers should say (like the W3C one does) what version they are checking against. They should also offer different versions or profiles to check against (e.g. "the subset supported by IE", "HTML5", "HTML6"). But the version you check against is independent of the version the document was authored for, and neither version belongs in the document, IMHO. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
