12 Hi Dan,
13 They have to be built from valid xml or they won't build, I assume you
14 mean xsl, (regardless, it's the end html that being validated/looked at
15 here).

21 <rant level="mini" severity="mild">I offer up this, would you prefer a
22 page that validated 100% or one that actually worked in most browsers..
23 at the moment I don't believe that this is possible, mozilla/gecko is
24 getting there but many other browsers don't. html has had this issue for
25 some time.</rant>

27 My thanks go to the people who have taken the time to create the list of
28 pages that do and don't work,.. chances are they use the same parent
29 xslt. Which will enhance the likelyhood of this getting fixed.
