I'm sure they would love to hear about it... Should I drop them a note?

Thanks! I once tried the old smgls, but I didn't understand one word of
the error messages it threw at me, but I would really love to see a
validator I could run on my own computer that tells me things I can
understand :-).

Would be great!

Mainly because if I by ignorance use a transitional attribute, I want the
validator to tell me.... :-) Besides, I think it would be nice to use the
same DTD for the entire server, but that is of minor importance.

Ah, of course... Thanks!

Your documentation says:
default=charset
                Character set to use as the default if no character set is
                defined for the message. If option not specified, 
                "us-ascii" is used.
 
Friendly Tiddely-pom,
