I'll try to come up with some of my own. I expect the users who find them seriously confusing would struggle to do that. Users capable of making a useful contribution, please do, and join the debate on #validator! In view of the reawakening of this perennial thread, I've just posted the ParserMessages source file I use for Page Valet[1]. Many of them are James Clark's originals, but I've given some thought to improving those which feature in validator reports. This, or something similar, could be dropped straight in to validator.w3.org. [1] http://valet.webthing.com/page/ -- Nick Kew In urgent need of paying work - see http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html
