Actually... a similar patch to what you suggest was added to the validator's codebase a month ago :) http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check.diff? r1=1.525&r2=1.526&f=h Thanks for the confirmation that it is a good idea to add this mechanism. The two patches are indeed slightly different, but, I think, have the same effect. Regards, -- olivier
