I can't say much before actually seeing validation results for that page, but the most likely scenario is: the markup of that page wasn't correct, you just didn't know it. And neither did the validator. The validator was recently upgraded with a more accurate engine, and now will spot errors it didn't use to. > Now that you changed /your/ page, my pages do not validate anymore > as XHTML > 1.1?

If you care about writing conformant Web content, you should perhaps be happy that the validator helps you spot more error? And if indeed the errors come from a bug in the new validator, we'll be happy to fix that. But not being able to access your site doesn't help. Regards, -- olivier
