Validation of irrelevant and invisible files .... known bug?

I went to Validate a file, and then figured, what the heck.... I should
validate all of them.

I went from 0 errors to 25+ errors.

They were all complaining about deprecated Font Tags, and other such bizzare
things.... "Hey...stop that... I'm not using any Font tags."

Then I looked a little closer... "Validate Entire Site" was going after
then entire directory, not just files I had defined for my site, but also
the HTML files that Dreamweaver creates for it's "Browser Check" reports and
"Validator Results" reports. It didn't even matter that some of these files
are hidden files.

Is this known or something I should post as a buglet?

Wouldn't it make sense that "Validate Entire Site" just went after what is
in the Local View of my Site as opposed to just ripping through entire
directories?

Cheers,
Sam

Where are you storing your site files and is it set in the site definitions and
is it somehow in the Macromedia or DW folders?
