I've exchanged emails with Barry: it seems I misread his whois records, and the domain was registered on Feb.9th 2001! I can also confirm that validator.w3.org doesn't recognise his address, and that Page Valet finds a small number of errors in his page. It seems that there is a DNS problem between w3.org and eavb.co.uk. My quick check yesterday confirmed that both registered nameservers for eavb.co.uk returned correct and consistent results, which seems to point the finger at W3 or some unknown third-party. In any case, we have an unsolved problem here. -- Nick Kew Site Valet - the mark of Quality on the Web. <URL:http://valet.webthing.com/>
