No, it only means that the document contains reportable markup errors, which means that it does not comply with the DTD it announces in a DOCTYPE declaration, whatever that DTD is. Whether the same organization, such as the W3C, that has issued that DTD has also issued other DTDs is immaterial in validation. What you are asking for is something essentially different from a validator. We could surely use a _good_ general HTML checker, but that's a different issue. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
