A link to W3C links that explain HTML and XHTML declarations should be nice too. The idea should be to "force" web developpers to stick to the standards and code web pages right. Also, the validation tool should provide explanation and examples. And it should fail if the markup doesn't validate properly! Helder Ferreira
