Re: old version of validator.nu? (was: incorrect language tag error for "sgs")

Greetings,

I've updated the HTML validation backend on validator.w3.org to the latest
upstream source from the validator.nu source repo.

That should correct this problem. Please give it a try and, if it's not
working, let me know.
