    <thetext>The online validation report for &lt;http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-writing-modes&gt; starts with a table containing the following entry:

&gt; ┌───────┬─────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────┐
&gt; │ Code  │ Occurrences │               What to do               │
&gt; ├───────┼─────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
&gt; │ (N/A) │ 5           │ Accessing links with this URI scheme   │
&gt; │       │             │ has been disabled in link checker.     │
&gt; ├───────┼─────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤

But, it turns out that all of the links in question are &quot;mailto:&quot; links, which aren&apos;t so much disabled as they are *impossible* to check automatically (though it *would* be possible to check that the domains have MX records).

It seems like a more specific message would be a lot less confusing. Something along the lines of &apos;Automatic checking of &quot;mailto:&quot; links is generally impossible.&apos;, perhaps?</thetext>
