    Please post the URL for a page that exhibits the problem and/or one that
    used to validate but which is now giving you warnings. Quite apart from the
    possibility of a bug in the Validator, we have recently updated it to be
    stricter about some things and give you more information (some of which may
    be poorly phrased). To stand any chance of determining what is happening
    here we'll need to have the URL of the page(s) you are refering to.
    
    In general, though, you will get the phrasing "..._would_ validate if..."
    if either of 1) you are missing charset info 2) you're missing a DOCTYPE or
    3) you have turned on one or more of the options that alter the document
    before validation (e.g. DTD override, charset override, etc.).
