However, you can validate a 'transitional' document. Wheras, it would be impossible to get a document stamped with 'unready' to validate.. (Allthough, you could of course validate = check it for errors.) Therefore, an 'unready' stamp, placed there by the author himself, would not be same thing. (Wheras a WYSIWYG stamp would be something of the same.) -- leif halvard silli
