I removed the weblint options from the form on the home page, and
put a blurb at the top of the weblint section in the report:
Note: Weblint is a useful HTML syntax and style checker, but
does not do true HTML validation. Also, the version of
weblint used by this service has not been updated for some
time, so some of the messages below may be misleading or
inaccurate.
