Hi Philip, This is not really a question for this forum, so I am moving it to www-validator, if you do not mind.

HTML 4.0 is not there, perhaps an involuntary omission, in any case it makes sense to push people to use 4.01 if they have not yet decided. > and W3.ORG itself refers only > to 4.0 on its HTML page (http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/), Not sure where you saw that. http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/#html4 clearly talks about HTML 4.01, as latest version of HTML 4, and a revision of the HTML 4.0 Recommendation. regards, -- olivier
