The official GNU documentation has not been yet updated to support quoted file names, which is a necessary feature for putting a full URL into the file name field. The expectation is that the GNU format will be updated to allow quoted filenames (that can then contain colons), so Validator.nu uses this feature. The wiki page documenting the Validator.nu "gnu" output deliberately documents a *subset* of the full format. Validator.nu sticks to the subset. Validator.nu violates the GNU format spec in two ways (not counting the anticipated name quoting feature): the messages end with a period and tabs are counted as one column. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
