There's no point killing w3c like that. They propably will notice your
slaying their server and will block your IP. Look, the world will not end if
the page doesn't validate. Sure it is possible to validate it on each run
but for fucks sake, it's not _that_ important and most of all it will damage
a very useful service such as the w3c validator by unnecessarily loading the
server all the time.
You _are_ being fairly anal about it and that's not good. Validation is not
the ultimate answer. even if your page would validate, it doesn't
necessarily mean the page is errorless, or that it looks okay. The code
might be broken in a way that in fact does validate, but still look like
hell in a browser. You'll end up in a false sense of security like that.
