Well, does anyone know exactly what causes it to smile or frown? I found
this page about it:  http://www.icab.de/smile.html but it doesn't say
much more than "When you look at the Smiley (error report) in iCab
you'll see immediately if the web page conforms to the HTML
specification. False HTML code will often cause problems when viewed
with browsers which are not used by the author of the web page. We hope
that the Smiley in iCab motivates the authors of web pages to respect
the HTML specification. If they do iCab will smile. " 
Anyone who's run the program have any more info on it?
