Dear Sirs:
I have been validating my web pages using XHTML 1.0 (Transitional) and CSS 2.1 for at least two years. Everything had been working fine. When W3C made a change months ago to the CSS validator (now displaying a light blue validation box), CSS validation for my sites suddenly ceased to function. I don't mean that my pages do not validate properly. I mean that I simply get "the page cannot be displayed" when I insert any of my website URLs into the validator box: www.tenspider.net, www.tenspider.com, www.vital-statistics.net or any of the other pages on my website. I plug in the URL for a different website (not one of mine) and the validator works just fine.
This appears to be a domain issue. It happens whether I go through the CSS button on my website, input manually, or validate another website and then simply substitute my URL. Extremely frustrating. Can you help?
(NOTES: My web pages are generated using a PHP-based content management system of my own design. I went to great lengths to insure that the CMS generates valid XHTML and CSS. The suffix for my generated pages is ".html", not ".php".
Examples of validation strings I generate with my CMS (that don't work):
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.tenspider.net%2Findex.html
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.tenspider.net%2Fpets-animals%2Findex.html
Examples of alternate validation strings I have tried unsuccessfully:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.tenspider.com/
