I use James Clarks SP parser and the HTML 4.0.1 DTD's to check my
markup. I've written a simple Perl script to drive the parser and
give it the correct command line options. If it's of interest to
anyone then let me know off list and I'll pop up a tarball of the
DTD's, entity sets, parser script, etc. on my website.
