Unfortunately the person who was experiencing this error seems to be
rather snippy and judgmental (remember, I don't know anything about
web accessibility!), and hasn't been forthcoming with browser
information. I haven't been able to replicate the problem myself,
either.
I'll ask my wife if she knows anything about it. It may be some other
problem, but it's definitely a problem with following the referer link
at the bottom of http://www.idyllmtn.com/ -- that produced the error
condition described. When I told the complainant to simply go to the
Validator site itself and type in the address, it worked fine, she
reported.
