Obviously, validators cannot check for conformance criteria that depends on the author's intent. However, the very concept of semantic markup is useless unless markup is used according to the intended meaning. Therefore, I think it is even interop-sensitive (in the sense that receivers process the messages in ways compatible with sender expectations) that authors use markup according to the specified semantics. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
