LSID tester - new features

[Roderic Page]

I've tweaked the LSID tester tool mentioned in a previous posting. The
tester now lives at
http://linnaeus.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/lsid/tester, and has the
following changes:

1. The RDF metadata can be displayed as a graph in PNG and SVG formats
(you can also get the underlying graph file which is AT&T's dot format)

2. An additional test that produces a warning if the HTTP binding for
the authority  is anything other than a server address (i.e., URLs with
paths generate a warning)

3. Some minor cosmetic changes to make it a little less hideous on the
eyes if you have the misfortune to use Internet Explorer 6

4. I've added some example LSIDs so users have somewhere to start.

Still very crude and loads of limitations/bugs...

Users of recent versions of Firefox will be disappointed with the SVG
graphs. I suggest installing Adobe's SVG plugin and using this
extension
(http://rr.latenightpc.com/wp/archives/2005/06/10/firefox-extension-
for-turning-built-in-svg-on-and-off/) to turn native SVG support off.

Regards

Rod
