That might make sense in general too. +1. While at it, how about revising the headline a bit more; now it says "This page", which sounds like it's referring to the validation results page, not the one checked? Dunno about the use of the word "page" either. But I'm having a hard time coming up with a good and short enough replacement for the headline that would satisfy all of the above "requirements". Perhaps just: Validation results ($doctype): pass|fail|tentative > But note that the difference is > slight, and probably won't make much difference in practice; my guess is that > it'll be far too subtle a distinction for the users (who lack the context). Agreed, but I think this is an improvement worth applying anyway (+ not only the headline, but also the paragraph below it (c|sh)ould be rephrased).
