WebIDL checker

(bcc to public-html, public-webapps, public-device-apis)

Hello,

I have just released a simple on-line WebIDL checker:
http://www.w3.org/2009/07/webidl-check
It detects bugs in the WebIDLs it finds inside HTML documents - it looks
for <pre> elements with a class set to "idl" or "webidl", and then
validates what it extracts using Aplix' widlproc:
http://widl.webvm.net/svn/widlproc/trunk/doc/widlproc.html

See it for instance:
 * applied to HTML5: http://www.w3.org/2009/07/webidl-check?doc=http%3A%
2F%2Fdev.w3.org%2Fhtml5%2Fspec%2FOverview.html
 * to Geolocation: http://www.w3.org/2009/07/webidl-check?doc=http%3A%2F
%2Fwww.w3.org%2FTR%2F2009%2FWD-geolocation-API-20090707%2F

More details on my blog:

I'm open for suggestions of improvements - in particular if having a
other output formats in addition to the HTML report would be useful.

Hope this useful to some,

Dom
