sticking to standards

Please, please, PLEASE keep OmniWeb strict/make it stricter.

I find all these changes to make it compatible with bugs in other systems  
very worrying.  While I realise that it is good to be able to handle bad HTML  
in the same way that other browsers such as netscape do, I want to be able to  
see errors in my own documents before I make them publicly available!

My request is really for a preference to make OmniWeb conform to the  
standards and to flag bits of HTML which are illegal/bad practice.

Ideally I would also like to see the ability to generate a report about  
errors in a document which could be mailed to the webmaster of the offending  
site at the click of a button.  Unless people complain to webmasters about  
their sites, the current poor standard will be very slow to improve.

To be more realistic - could we please have a log of bad HTML to the console window?
