A few contributions: * I see there is no "revalidate" button any more. That's ok, I can use the "reload" feature of my browser. (perhaps add this as a hint ?) * One suggestion: when I validate pages made by other people, I often see this error: > "there is no attribute `FOO' for this element (in this HTML version)" > > You have used an attribute with an element that is defined not to > have that attribute.

I thinks it would be good to make some finer-grained diagnostic to this common error, and perhaps even a hint of what to do to correct the situation. Perhaps some usage statistics (logs produced by the validator itself) would give common examples to start with. In my mind, this is related to item 17 in http://validator.w3.org/todo.html: 'Add a "recommend a DTD for me" feature (check a document against all available DTDs, report which one has the fewest errors)' * Warning: pages under http://validator.w3.org:8188/ hierarchy don't validate. They all lack all headers... I guess this is a known property of the development area. * The quality tips are a really good idea. I've seen there is a cvs repository. I might contribute a patch once in a while in the future. > Regards, Martin.
