Previously in alt.html said:I would have no problem with saying that it is not a validator even if it
did that. The point is that it reports as _errors_ things that are not
reportable markup errors. If it reported them as warnings, we might say
that it is a validator with some extra features (as the W3C and WDG
validators actually are).
I did think of that, and had the answer to my question been yes, I was
going to mention it. Since the answer was no, the point is moot - it
shouldn't be called a validator anyway.
I downloaded it and played with it quickly yesterday, and I found it
interesting that there is a "standards compliant check" mode - since it
doesn't check the HTML against the DTD[1], I wonder what "standards" it
is checking against.
[1] Yes, I know that the W3C documents are only recommendations, not
standards.
