    Subject: An idea
    
    I have just used the HTML validator to check all the pages (13) of 
    my new site, and alls well, eventually!!
    
    As small changes will be made from time to time, and I wish to 
    continue to ensure that all the pages remain valid, it would be nice 
    if there were a way to submit a set of pages for validation in one 
    lump.  Perhaps by submitting a text file of local filenames (to be 
    the equivalent of the upload mode) or a set of urls.  Then for 
    continued site monitoring the user would prepare this list just once 
    and have an easy method to monitor the whole site.
    
    Perhaps in this situation, the report produced would be brief either 
    showing 'valid' or xx errors for each page checked.  Then for those 
    pages that failed, an individual validation could be performed as 
    now to get the full report on its failings.
    
    Unless of course I've missed how this could be done with the 
    present system?????
