No, only with my brain.  (I saved the script by inertia in ~/bin.)

Agreed.  Also, there's no reason to compute them, just use wildcards and
let sync copy everything that matches.

OK.  Are you going to modify sync and commit them all or you want me to
do it?

I don't like this, because the purpose of the validation is to check the
"real" markup as served by the gnu.org web server.  
There is no problem to copy (and commit) all {header,footer}.xx.html in
trans-coord; they don't change often.

Sure, separating them seems redundant.

Ack.

I just copied the system files to ~/share, and modified the script to
include

--path "/home/yavor/share/xml/xhtml/schema/dtd/1.0 
/home/yavor/share/xml/entities/xhtml"

and then purged the package for extra safety.  I didn't try on fp, but
appears to be fine on my machine at work:

$ ./validate ../../home.bg.shtml
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity
