While I also encourage the use of http://validator.w3.org/ every time
I have an opportunity to make such a comment, I believe this _particular_
error is not caught by that tool.  I know it does not catch pages that
specify one of (text or background) but not the other, which in the
case of white and black will lead to errors on half the browsers in
use (depending on how their defaults are set).

So while http://validator.w3.org/ is good, it too has some defects.
