[Erp5-dev] XHTML page w3c validation

I have some pages where tidy find 0 error and 20 warnings but w3c
validator find no error and no warning (valid page). eg : this page
http://localhost:1234/erp5/view

This is not a problem. The problem is that I have some pages where tidy
find 0 error and 40 warning but w3c validator find 1 error (so the page
is invalid but passed our tests). I have this case on the page
http://localhost:1234/erp5/use_case_module/1/view but I think we could
find it on a lot of other places.
We can see that by using HTML validator firefox extension and set the
option to use SGML analyser instead of HTML Tidy.

Thanks to google, I have find another way to check our pages : use the
same validator as w3c uses.
Official web page is there : http://validator.w3.org/docs/install.html
a gentoo turial on this topic here :
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_W3C_Validator

what do you think about that ?

Regards,
Fabien
