CSS parser will handle a given stylesheet. Due to the "definitive reference" character of publications of the W3C as the originating source of the CSS2 specification for most people, including CSS authors and especially implementers, I consider it quite dangerous to create the impression that the service provided can be used as a reference for one own's endeavours. I hereby strongly suggest to add a prominent link to the "Known Issues" list of the validator at the main entry page (and not bury it at the page's bottom in a small link without descriptive label) and add a warning notice that the validator may contain bugs and may not behave exactly as the specification requests. 2439 1 ewexler 2004-10-03 20:17:18 +0000 Make the warning short, blunt, and clear: “This validator has many bugs. Not for production use.” Style it to make it prominent. 15818 2 ot 2007-07-17 06:25:44 +0000 http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/about.html#reference is enough, IMHO. No need to load the homepage with this.
