IMHO the fact that the validator respects the logic behind HTTP (i.e "I won't validate the page since it's not found") is useful most of the time, while "I want to validate my error page" is very marginal. If there's not sensible way to satisfy both camps, I'd rather we stay the way it is now. > see > http://www.w3.org/2002/02/mid/89jn1uk63k59dsvan57sn7nb2i6cf91aip@4ax.com Please use the actual URI instead of the message-id redirection one as much as possible: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2001Dec/0080.html Thank you. -- Olivier Thereaux - W3C http://www.w3.org/People/olivier | http://yoda.zoy.org
