You, Jonsm@aol.com wrote: ++ ++ I would suggest these categories: ++ ++ 1) Errors - pages containing severe errors like overlapping tags, ++ quote/comment problems.

That's quite hard to do. While <img src = foo.gif alt = "bla bla>Text <img src = foo.gif"> or <!-- -- -- Comment comment -- --> Text text <!-- -- Foo --> are most likely "errors", they _are_ correct SGML. In fact, part of the problem often is that such errors are correct SGML, but with a totally different behaviour than the author expected (or the browser implemented). Such an error checker should then 'guess' the intended meaning, ignoring the SGML. Abigail
