I'm well aware that validators don't run JavaScript and I'm talking about a case where they don't even need to. Given this markup that will cause a node to be cloned by the Adoption Agency Algorithm: <em id="x"><p>foo</em>bar</p> The validator *will* flag that as an error and, according to the algorithm, it will also cause duplicate IDs, which is what we were discussing. The only case that won't happen is if that markup is written as a result of document.write() or innerHTML. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
