This subject came up today on ciwah. Since I agree with the original questioner and have myself been through his frustration in the past, I'll raise it here. Validator, in common with various external projects, attempts to maintain an up-to-date library of DTDs, modules and schemas @w3. Of course, given the multitude of WGs producing them and the fact that some of them take no notice of validator, this can be challenging. It is doubly so from outside W3C, as you effectively have to spider the modules[1]. If we were to run a CVS server for [sg|x]ml-lib on qa-dev, I wonder if it would be possible for someone to crack a whip amongst the WGs to ask them to contribute their work - at least when anything goes public - so we can maintain a decent repository without having to jump through hoops ourselves. [1] Hmmm - I wonder if I should hack up a DTD spider for exactly that purpose? -- Nick Kew
