an usability suggestion

Hi Validators

I'm validating
http://200.16.86.250/portal/nuke/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=2
and getting more than 5000 errors.

The validator's output is so bulky that it's difficult to use. The 
computer goes 100% CPU while my Netscape 7 sets the page for a long 
time, and it's difficult to scroll to the bottom to look at the source 
listing,

The problem is that the page has a long string of invalid characters, 
about 5000 binary zeros.

_______________________________________________________________
The suggestion:
          treat and report any number of contiguous invalid characters 
as only one item.
_______________________________________________________________

This way the meaningful errors (there are many in this awful page) will 
not get lost in the huge list.

Saludos!
