Seen differently: when I validate a page, I want to know what the latest state of the page is. Especially if I made some recent modifications, it would be confusing and frustrating to give the validation result for an old version of the content. For this reason, I think the current setup is right. Which doesn't mean we can't upgrade it with an internal cache for the validator and an if-modified-since header, at some point. Would you like to look into it? -- olivier
