if you've got a validating parser locally, sure, you're probably better off using that. the W3C validator will also validate plain HTML though (if you aren't using XHTML).
Your point about HTML (as opposed to XHTML) is a good one. I forgot that others are still stuck with that. You're out of luck with an XML parser if you're trying to validate HTML.
I agree but do you invision program in the future that might do this? Using the W3C validator is real easy which is why I like it but always like to have options.
