Hi,
  I have apache installed on a gateway machine.  When I access the site
internally with http://192.168.0.1 and hit the check button for html 4.01 or
css it hangs because the w3c machine is searching for referrer 192.168.0.1
which of course it can't find.  Not a big deal but a bug nonetheless.  The
scripts could be modified so that if 'referrer' is numeric then check it is
not in the private address spaces.  Thanks for providing a great service!!!
