That's where my head was when I wondered aloud if user agents would do well to provide built-in conformance checking[1], because that's where said folks will expect to find it. After a bit of reflection, I realize that "error checking" in the browser (aside from JavaScript) often amounts to a visual inspection vs. "how well does the document conform to machine-checkable requirements of a particular spec?" (read: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.") I also shudder at the thought of "built-in conformance checker wars." <!> -- Joe D'Andrea www.joesapt.net [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Apr/0959.html
