I have no interest in implementing polyglot checking for Validator.nu. One of the reasons why I think there should be no polyglot REC is that I don’t want people to ask validator developers to waste time developing polyglot checking. (That’s not the primary reason why I’m opposed to promoting polyglot. The main reason is that I think it’s wrong to lure Web authors into jumping through useless hoops like happened with Appendix C.) I am still interested in adding an option for flagging implied tags in Validator.nu. That seems to be something that authors liked about XHTML 1.0-as-text/html validation. Also, I believe it would go a long way addressing Sam’s use case of authoring HTML so that it can be safely fed to a non-conforming HTML parser. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
