Why would that be very hard? I don't think Polyglot Markup is unclear about what polyglot is. Also I did not mean to grade - like in school. Just to inform the author whether it meets the requirements or not. Let's say there are 10 criteria for being polyglot. Then the validator could inform which of those your code conforms to. >> A) that polyglot conformance-checking would become of value also >> for those that don’t aim for full polyglot conformance, which >> in turn could broaden the interest within the HTMLwg as well; > > It would be nice if validators can check conformance to polyglot > requirements.

The development of a validator is not up to me. But Henri’s reply indicates to me that degrees of conformance *could* be interesting.[1] [1] http://www.w3.org/mid/CAJQvAuet8UZh8YmpAsRRr-POF1eG=4wSZhhugFQ5ei3a-XHx1w@mail.gmail.com -- leif halvard silli
