Absolutely, especially if the extension has no cache mechanism, I would very strongly recommend either implementing one (maybe using firefox's cache?) or use a catalog. Not only would it make things faster for you, it would also save www.w3.org tons of uselessly redundant requests. > The disadvantage is that it would > increase the installation footprint of your extension.

The one distributed with the validator is 4M once untarred, but only 500k archived: http://validator.w3.org/sgml-lib.tar.gz I think the licensing terms would allow you to distribute the sgml-lib with your extension. -- olivier
