As documented, the <m:explanation> is the same block of HTML used in the validator's main output. Unfortunately, that's the way the error message explanations are stored, so unless someone comes in and wishes to clean that up, it may stay that way a while. Your suggestions are quite good, though, but it would take time to: * take the current error explanations file * massage that into something more structure * change the templates of the validator to take that structured data and make that HTML/API XML at runtime If anyone's interested, that would speed things up. If not, let's put the suggestion in bugzilla and see when one of the developers may have time for it. > Sure I can strip tags but then the whole "Suggest improvements on > this error message" bit gets reduced to a '?' Sounds odd.

Good point, but the soap output gives you much more info, and well organized. For instance, since you have <m:messageid> you could download the error message explanations from the code base of the validator and map that to whatever format you want to use. Would that help? -- olivier
