Why on earth would I want to add all that comlexity when the W3C provide all the information I need if I make a simple HEAD request? Either that or to get a full set of information I can just put ;output=xml on the end of the validator URI. This means that the simple version of the module only requires LWP rather than all the dependancies that you get with SOAP and I don't need to ask the W3C to host anything. Struan.
