genpage is doing something different. You can think of it as a
pre-processor with perl under the hood.
PSGML can do other nice things. Currently it intends all HTML
according to the indenting style we have chosen.
It may also normalize all tags and convert them to lower-case in
preparation for a migration to XML.
What's the scope of the validator? Can it do things like that too?

I am certainly interested and will have a look when you get somewhere
with it.

... and I want all of it ``buffered'': *compilation*, *shell*,

And I want it on my Palm NOW!
Hard to put up a fight while looking in the same direction :-)
Keep me posted.
