Hello C. E. Whitehead

Here is not the right place to send feedback about the new validator, I'm  
afrai.

 From Olivier's announcement:

[[
Instructions for feedback are given at:
http://validator-test.w3.org/feedback.html

It is recommended to read through these instructions, and check the
Mail archives and Bug database, before sending a new bug report to the
publicly archived mailing-list www-validator@w3.org.

If reporting a bug for this beta test, be sure to mark it as
belonging to version 0.8.0b1, so that developers can easily look
through the issues raised during this beta test.
]]

Cheers!
coralie
