Yes, it is unfortunately the intended behaviour.  Some users prefer that 
the same error not be repeated more than once, others (like yourself) 
prefer to have all errors listed regardless if they're the same errors.

Anyway, you should generally avoid elements and attributes in the markup 
that specify presentational characteristics of your document, in favour 
of using stylesheets.
