We had a discussion about this a week or two ago. It sets a bad example and
discriminates against newcomers (e.g. Web browsers), among many other
distriments.

I urge you to read

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.internet.search-engines/browse_frm/thread/75c579f39a7e6be1/2e34806f1c5f1e69?lnk=st&q=google+and+validation&rnum=1#2e34806f1c5f1e69

rather than 'reinvent the wheel', so to speak, only days after an identical
discussion.

Best wishes,

Roy
