Such a validator already exists,
<http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/>, although its limit is 50
pages (a fact which, last week, led me to finally getting around to
setting up the w3c validator locally).
It might be possible to add it to the w3c Markup Validation Service,
perhaps by merging the CheckLink and Validator codebases at some stage
in the future.
I have some concerns about the load this would cause on the w3c server;
it has a rather higher profile then the WDG. What is the load
(bandwidth / CPU) like at present (assuming there are no issues with
making that information public)?
