Patrick,

Thanks for the clarification. It's probably not detrimental that my
Petal templates not be valid; it just makes it a bit more challenging
for my designers who will need to know the difference.

One of the reasons I used the w3 validation service is because Petal
does not report the reason a document is well-formed. I'm not sure if
this is even possible, but it would be at the top of my wish list for
future features!

William
