Most of which are banal HTML syntax in XHTML or bad nesting of >elements... For shame! :-) Oops! Our bad. Explanation (but no excuse): this got handed down the line through several people, and in haste we sent it without giving it a final check. >What can the Validator do to make it easier to integrate validation into the >publishing workflow for QA in general? Or perhaps specifically for SpecGL >reviews? Validation happens as a consequence of any of our WD publications, by the requirements of pubrules. But it sometimes gets overlooked in hastily processed "internal" documents. (Which, as in this case, become "external".) What to do to make it easier to avoid such lapses? Let's see, I was at the end of a chain of several people, and used jigedit to post this with Web Commander. If it were somehow possible to get a validation notification at time of posting (by Web Comm'dr, or other tools), then that would relieve me of having to remember every time, "oh yeah, has anyone validated it yet?". It is that extra, voluntary step in the workflow that is problematic. -Lofton.
