    <thetext>Every time I successfully validate a CSS, I notice that the
&quot;Congratulations!&quot; -text is coloured red. This bugs me. Students of
communication and cognition sciences (and indeed almost anyone else too)
can tell you that in many cultures, red is symbolically a negative and/or
warning color. Therefore, the text &quot;Congratulations!&quot; and its color convey
opposite meanings to the reader. The color is interpreted first
(pre-attentively), text afterwards (cognitively). This has the effect of
making the system both slower and less enjoyable to use. I suggest
colouring &quot;Congratulations!&quot; and other similar texts green, for example.</thetext>

    <thetext>Agreed - the fact that the CSS validator uses a &lt;h2&gt; for validation results with no specific class for 
success/failure is not the best possible UI. looking into it.</thetext>

    <thetext>The congratulations actually always were in a &lt;div id=&apos;congrats&apos;&gt;
It was a matter of setting a proper style for it.</thetext>
