But is it? If I supply a URN (qua URN) to the validator rather
than a URL, I am told :
HTML Validation Service Results
Sorry, this type of URI is not supported by this service.
URIs should be in the form:
http://validator.w3.org/
(There are other types of URIs, too, but only http:// URIs are currently supported by this service.)

thus suggesting (to me, at least) that the Validator is /not/ capable of accepting URIs, but
only (a fairly restricted set of) URLs.
