Hi folks :) Well, being a poor guy from a poor, yet proud, continent (Africa) we always are limited by resources and technical means. So I think we should maintain a text file, somewhere on the net where we can have a list of available copies of the validator to switch queries amongst them. Here's how I see it: Universal validators pool: =================== http://domain/blahblah/validators.txt Each line of the precedent file will contain a url to the validator copy Our apps will fetch and cache this file and use it as a list of available servers to query randomly so that multiple and several queries wont hurt the W3C server. I still humbly think that the use of an API is because of the lake of local resources. Because if everyone had the chance to own his copy of the validator, why would he use the api when he simply could make custom templates and generate his content the way he want it to be. Don't you think? So here's the first two domains I know. Brett, thanks for your university's one ;-) Maybe with an efficient collective googling on site:.edu we could make this list bigger? Take a look at this humble start: http://w3c.jottit.com Karim -- http://akoncept.com Innovate Humanum Est.
