HENSA actually now host W3C's HTML validation service - not WebTech's. The
WebTech validation service was out of date and when they requested a new
version a few months ago they failed to get a reply. They installed W3C's
validation service - and ensured that URL encoded links to the original
service would contine to work e.g. click on the Validate this URL button at
the bottom of Jon Kinght's article at
http://www.ariadne/issue2/knight/ (about Linux - published in March 1996!)
