Hello.  I have a set of web applications that dynamically generate 
XHTML, WML and CHTML via a content negotiation process that uses the 
Accept and User-Agent header values.  Your validator doesn't send an 
Accept header and it doesn't allow me to specify an Accept header value. 
 Therefore I'd have to write some special-case rules to get my site to 
return XHTML content based on your validator's User-Agent value (which 
I'd rather not do).  It would be nice if your interface would allow me 
to specify an Accept value of  "text/html" (for instance).

Thanks,
Orion
