True, this is on the checklink TODO list, stay tuned. Part of the functionality you requested is already in checklink, though it's command line only for now: -l/--location uri Scope of the documents checked. By default, for http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/Overview.html for example, it would be: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/ > Great tool though.

There has been some discussion about this on the list earlier. But as long as the DTDs don't have real rules for that stuff, it can't be validated, but is considered "lint"-like functionality. There are some plans to provide this later, but most of the work on the validator is targeted to validation at least for now. -- \/ille Skyttä ville.skytta at iki.fi
