Just as a note, I was reprimanded once for using the term ``validation''
incorrectly
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/1998Apr/0076.html>
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/1998Apr/0083.html>. It would
seem that ``validation'' refers specifically to the process of validation
thats (SG|X)ML specifications talk about. So one can create erroneous
but valid documents. Some other term needs to be used.
