Try:
	signal:	Discussion of The W3C Validation Service.  [0]
	noise:		anything else.

Let's have signal, and a lot less noise. Once upon a time this list was
focused on "The W3C Validation Service."  Such would seem a noble goal to
return to, and a lot less hassle for those of us who have that focused
interest.  Please.

anyone who wants more signal and less noise should generate more signal,
not just complain about the noise. As I like to say, it's easy to hit the
