It's not the same if we look at the difficulties caused to people using assistive technologies or alternative browsing tools, as I can see. For me that makes a lot of difference... ;-) The same difference between serving a validator rather than serving people. Ok, it's a suggestive declaration, I know... ;-) and I have nothing against validators, parsers and such algorithmical tools. But I still prefere people, that's all. If I can't serve both, then I prefer to serve people. Where am I wrong?... :) Maurizio
