True, I did think about this whilst writing that email. I will suggest that
as pages are committed, we have a validator run over them automatically.
Kind of like tinderbox, but for web weenies. :)

Not at all, your input is always appreciated. Most of us just have a
terrible snap reaction to anything approaching the horrors of WML. :) [ I'm
not allowed to talk about the horrors of PHP though... ;) ]

The web list has just picked up again, and it looks like it's time for the
dreaded implementation argument we've all been trying to avoid... So, if you
have any axes to grind (or preferably wisdom to share), get in quick.
