OK, few more comments after trying the validator:

   1. the "address" term on the pop-up is confusing; maybe better as "link"?
   2. my example had only one error, which makes this incorrect: "Oops, I
   found 1 errors." Maybe change last word in template to "error(s)"?

And just a question: does this include a web server aspect? If yes, I say
we move it to the main site, per your suggestion.
