The purpose of the validator is to compare a markup document against a DTD. It would be wrong for it to claim that the markup at a given URL was valid when that isn't true - even if the code containing the errors is provided by someone other than the primary document author. I don't think it would be possible to distinguish between code provided by a third party and the primary document author anyway. -- David Dorward <http://dorward.me.uk/>
