W3C Validator: “Zeldman Made Us Do It!” Edition

Jeffrey Zeldman reported today that the W3C has released a new beta version of its popular HTML validator, now with human error messages. Right on. I’m in complete agreement with Zeldman that previous versions had confusing, almost meaningless error output. I tried the new beta validator and all my pages worked okay so I couldn’t check out the new error message system. I’m going to go hunting for some bad HTML pages to see what exactly is in store for this new release, but it definitely sounds good.

Good job Zeldman and W3C, I’m much obliged.
