Actually I realize now that upstream http://validator.nu/ does that as
expected. The bad behavior you're seeing is only in the W3C Nu validator
and so is a bug that I need to figure out the cause of and fix. Sorry that
you had to be the one to discover it but I will try to get a fix made asap
so that others don't get bit by it.
