Fatal error - most browsers will not be able to parse at all The semantics for the warnings, errors and fatal errors emitted by http://hsivonen.iki.fi/validator/html5/ are as follows: Warning: Something that I think is harmful but there's no spec that would allow me to call it an error or something that technically conforming bet is extremely likely a mistake made by the author. OR: Something that a spec makes an error in most cases, but determining if it indeed is a spec violation requires inspection by a human. Error: Violation of a conformance requirement in any supported spec and the violation does not cause the checker to stop. Fatal error: Violation of a conformance requirement upon which checking stops. These include errors that the XML spec requires to be treated as fatal and HTML parse errors that I have chosen not to try to recover from. OR: The input triggers a defense mechanism against denial of service attacks without actually violating any spec. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
