[imps] differing results from our validator.nu instance and yours

[Rancid Iodine]

Hi Michael, and everyone else on the list.

We updated our validator.nu servlet instance on April 8th to iron out some
report discrepancies between our instance and validator.nu's, but then some
new changes were made to the upstream source on April 9th as seen here:
https://bitbucket.org/validator/build/src ...

Anyway right after that some new discrepancies came up in a report, as seen
here:

The http://validator.nu gives only one completely unrelated error for this
relevant url, so I updated our instance, but ours STILL gives the above
errors. I'm a bit confused why this should be the case.

The advice used to be to start the instance as follows:

python build/build.py --w3cbranding all & ... in order for the servlet to
"update itself" but I see the --w3cbranding option is no longer valid these
days.

Assuming the problem is that we're not starting the instance with the right
flags [?], can anyone suggest the right flags to guarantee the
"SelfUpdate()" ?

In fact I just started it in the simplest way possible as far as I know:

python build/build.py all & (this should make the servlet update itself
also, according to what can be seen in build.py)

- but the resulting o/p for a particular url is the same - different from
the validator.nu instance - showing the same 7 errors above.

It has to be something obvious I'm missing here. Can anyone see what it is?

Thanks for your comments!

Andrei
