If you would take a look at the validation errors you would see that most of |
| 19 |
them are rather trivial (forgotten to add empty alt tags to some images that |
| 20 |
are only used for layout). The biggest error I found was the absence of the |
| 21 |
doctype declaration. The extra attributes on the body tag are for IE, and |
| 22 |
should not pose any problem for other browsers as they are required to ignore |
| 23 |
unknown attributes. |

Of course with a very little bit of work the pages could be made compliant, |
| 26 |
and that is allways better, but the badness is not so bad that conqueror |
| 27 |
should choke on it. |
