Thanks Nick,

This could do the trick if I were the author of the validated pages, but
I'm not, I can't modify them.

Anyway, don't worry, this mail was just to check if there was some option
to do that on the CSS validator, but I see there isn't one, so I'll work
around this in other ways.

Thanks!
Jaime
