Dup issue #11 ? No errors but many warnings + no URL parsing for &

Created by: jombra

I spotted two errors which seems to be not covered by other bug reports. The new validator seems to have worse output concerning 2 things:

  1. A document using deprecated techniques for browser testing shows 124 warnings and no errors with FF57/validator 0.9.8.3 - but before 48 errors and 2 warnings with FF56/validator 0.9.7 which was correct. An error should not be marked as warning - this output is no longer useful.
  2. An URL address with "&" was marked as bad before (as it should) with advice to replace it by & before - it is not even given as a warning (but a green hook) now and is only spotted when using "http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=..." for a check. So currently the validator is of very limited use while before it could show all the bugs and the online validation was no longer necessary. I hope the behaviour of the former version can be reached again so it is really useful for local test version and one has not to check the global web server version with the online tool. The current output is a big regression compared to the 0.9.7 version - which is a pity. Best regards JMB
