Re: checklink:

What a fun program, totally off subject unless you are interested in  
validating html/xhtml across a linked bunch of pages.

I think you will find this requires programming.

Perl is so last-year. I wrote link-walking programs many years ago!

DOM scripting  (aka ajax among others) would be my choice.

Imagine adding a simple link to a simple html page that could verify  
an entire site, or an entire "collection of pages" across multiple  
domains. Just following the links on that page!

Fun..

PS
I never heard of "the W3C linkchecker"! What does it do?
