They could (at least, as far as I understand the issue), for XHTML at least (not HTML5), if they wanted to implement a validating parser instead of a non-validating one, and improve its error output sufficiently to be able to make such annotations. But I've heard no noises about anyone doing that, at least not for Firefox. Perhaps I'm not listening in the right places. But it seems like a heck of a lot of effort for relatively little gain. > Browsers could also log all HTML parse errors in a > console, just like Firefox currently logs CSS parse errors and XML parse > errors in the JavaScript Console. Well, they _could_ - but the immediate effect of that would probably be to swamp the error console. Gerv
