[DAS] client access to validation status in the registry

[Jonathan Warren]

The DAS Registry has been updated so clients can access the  
information held on the validity of the servers.
If you use a sources request (http://www.dasregistry.org/das1/ 
sources/) the response now has valid prop elements like so:

<PROP name="valid" value="sequence" />
       <PROP name="valid" value="types" />
       <PROP name="valid" value="features" />
       <PROP name="valid" value="entry_points" />
       <PROP name="valid" value="stylesheet" />

The web service also produces this information as well.
For further info see:

Thanks

Jonathan.
