AFAIK, this is not the behaviour of the Validator. It certainly isn't the _intended_ behaviour of the Validator. IOW, if this is truly how it behaves then it's a bug. If you can provide more details (exact URL and browser name+version+platform) I'll try to replicate it and, if necessary, fix it. > Should it do something different if there is not sufficient > information given to attempt validation? Yeah, it should. Our error handling is pretty disgracefull ATM. Fixing it is on the TODO, but I haven't got a round tuit yet.
