Thanks all, what I want is to use a XML validator to verify the

xhtml automatically and easily)

Thanks.

As a matter of interest: does that still apply with IE8?

Not really.

(Have you noticed, C A, that I have selected you to practice what
I am bad at, namely brevity. Are you saying something like "I
