http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4524

           Summary: No SSI concideration on File Upload Validation
           Product: Validator
           Version: 0.7.4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: check
        AssignedTo: ot@w3.org

When the page is validated by URL (or the whole page copy & pasted into the
"Direct Input" field), the validator sees the page as a browser sees it,
processing any SSI, and other preprocessing done by the server, however, when
the page is uploaded as a file, some "Errors" are not really errors, but simply
incomplete code.  I as a somewhat knowledgeable programmer, take these "Errors"
into consideration, by ignoring them and concentrating on the actual errors,
until the page can be uploaded to a legitimate site, instead of the Apache
Server running on my laptop, while I am programming the page.

A less experienced programmer might get confused, unless pre-warned.
