This raises an another problem. I frequently use the program "tidy" to verify
my html. This program is created by a person from the w3c. It validates the 
code of my homepage as complete html 4.0. ( http://canvas.gnome.org/~drc/ )
But when I run it trough http://validator.w3.org/ , it gives a bunch of errors.
Now which program is right? How are we supposed to produce valid html if the
checker programs don't validate their results between each other?
  Before going into a discussion about forcing people to use validators, we 
should choose which one to support and use. The best way propably would be 
that the w3 create a piece of transportable code that would be used by all
validators.
