Well, it is right in that sense, but the question 'Did you mean "rel"?' is just absurd, misleading, and a spectacular failure in trying to be helpful - especially since in this case, as so often, the actual spelling in the document _is_ in lowercase. I think this "feature" of the validator should be removed immediately. Later, if you find it worthwhile to do some real heuristics, you could add it in a form that does not cause more trouble than help (e.g., suggesting a lowercase spelling only when the actual spelling is not lowercase and lowercasing would make the element or attribute conform to the DTD). -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
