A user who is just interested in the subject matter of CVLA and perhaps knows nothing about HTML and even less about W3C may get curious and click on the link, expecting to find some additional information about CVLA - why else would the link be there if not for further information? It then happens that link points to a validation report with an error message. If I knew nothing about HTML and W3C, I would be very confused. I might be confused even if I knew about HTML but didn't know about validation and W3C. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
