It does this using a DTD. The purpose of a browser is to render webpages. They perform a great deal of error correction and support a great deal of legacy code. Are you suggesting that instead of testing against the standard, the validator should compare the markup to the error correction routines and bugs of every browser on the planet? -- David Dorward <http://dorward.me.uk/>
