I have often used the validator to help others fixing their site, but I stopped doing so, when 0.6.0 went live, because I typically have to submit the same page two, three and sometimes even four times in order to get meaningful results. I also stopped advertising use of the W3C MarkUp Validator alltogether, because many people don't understand why the Validator rejects their pages, and either complain why I point them at such broken tools or ask me why it behaves like this, and I don't want to explain it again and again, so this doesn't effect novices only.Received on Saturday, 15 March 2003 13:44:32 UTC
