I can work it out from there I think.  Not sure if this will effect XML tags
that (actually I know it will effect XML tags but I'm not sure if they are
case sensitive, but then if it changes all of them it won't matter unless
someone has coded them with the same letters using case to differentiate
which would be silly but not unheard of).

Thanks to those that responded with ideas.  I'll test them out and see what
I get.  The validator was the one on the w3c website.  There is another one
called cynthia that tests more for accessibility.  Not sure whether rits
worth it but I would like to put their logos on the bottom of my pages to
show that I've gone to the effort to make it right.  I like doing things
right when there is a choise.

If anyone knows of a UK accessibility testing validator page I'd be
interested to know because I think Cynthia is American.
