Hi Rick,

The validator does not do any kind of processing. All SSI is always done on the
server side (hence the name).

Yes, if you send content to the validator which is not actually HTML, such as
php code or shtml without the SSIs processed, it won't be HTML and thus it will
cause errors.

This is possible. Would you have any suggestion as to what warning or
information the validator should give?
