The validator is not part of XHTML. The validator is a tool; there are tools that can spot unclosed HTML tags as well. I think that's a decent reason for the HTML validator to have an option that checks for unclosed elements, but I don't think it's a good reason to switch from HTML to XHTML. -- John
