There is a new section in the QA weblog [1] for rough, less polished little writeups about bugs, design issues and so on in the tools we develop at W3C. The section is called "Bugs Life" [1] http://www.w3.org/QA/ [2] http://www.w3.org/QA/archive/w3cqa_news/bugs_life/ The first little article is noodling about validation and conformance, a topic I think may be of interest to this list. * SAXing up the Markup Validator: from Validator to Conformance Checker One of the main weaknesses of the Markup Validator is, it's a validator. That is, it compares documents to a machine-readable grammar of the markup language in use. The faster, leaner architecture we have been working on in the past months finally make it possible to check conformance criteria beyond the mere grammar- based validation. But would the validator still be a validator? http://www.w3.org/QA/2007/03/validation_to_conformance.html Your thoughts (as comments on the article or here in the mailing- list) much welcome. -- olivier
