Maybe we could hear about these QA techniques rather than just saying
how crap the existing tools are, rather than the sudden proposal to
seriously reduce the amount of automated QA available to WHAT-WG
adopters.  If there was a different proposal on how WHAT-WG documents
be QA'd then I'd certainly be happy to see DTD validation disappear.
