It is bad, but not quite as bad as indicated. The underlying problem here is that the W3C's validation tools is currently configured to default to XHTML when the document type is unspecified (it used to default to HTML 2, which is more correct). One still gets about 8 screenfuls of errors if one validates it against the HTML 4 DTD. I believe it has been mentioned as a broken site on the Lynx mailing list. To allow it to be validated properly, they need to add: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> before the <html>
