The validator's current output for a valid page says "you may display this icon on any page that validates." (to be more precise, it should probably end with "...as this level of HTML.") If you use some other validation process (like another site that does true SGML validation, an HTML compliant editor, or some other SGML tool), I don't see why you can't display the W3C icons, since you can be fairly sure that W3C's validator will just tell you the same thing. Personally, I use nsgmls with a shell script to validate stuff I write by hand before publishing it, and I only occasionally verify it afterwards with the online validation service. -- Gerald Oskoboiny <gerald@w3.org> +1 617 253 2920 System Administrator http://www.w3.org/People/Gerald/ World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) http://www.w3.org/
