It's usually recommended to install either the stable version from http://validator.w3.org/source/ but if you want a more recent version the one in CVS in the "validator-0_6_0-branch" branch is a relatively safe choice, whereas HEAD is "there be dragons". In any case, thanks and congrats for installing and using the validator. Feel free to contact us (either here or on the developers' IRC channel) if you have further remarks or questions. -- olivier
