After some discussion with this user, he finally discovered Norton Privacy was preventing validator from working with the /referer link My take is that it cuts out the referer header; maybe it wouldn't if we had a p3p statement, but this is only a guess which I don't really beleive in. Anyhow, you may want to state this on a help page -- Henri Fallon - W3C Webmaster MIT Room NE43-340 Tel:617-258-8143 mailto:henri@w3.org
