Funny how one can not see something like those unmatched
tags... My eyes just slid right past them - kind of like
parsing words such as "of" in paragraphs. I guess it also
means that Safari (and surprisingly Firefox) tolerate the
standards violation of </a> being a required tag, often
it is the other way around.

Perhaps the offending instances could be fixed as XHTML
<a name="ole" /> (a similar offense in wd_commands.htm).
But seems I cannot test this hypothesis in my environment...

Looking (again and more closely [blush]) at various htm
files I see some other violations of HTML standards -
namely inclusion of tags, as in script_bigfiles.htm

  <a name="bappend"><b>bappend</b></a><br><b></b>

HTML 4 (and XHTML) requires that you "place the <a> tag
inside other markup tags, not the opposite." This means
that some browsers may not render the "bappend" above
as bold. The extra bit after the <br> may indicate that
the line was generated by a program, perhaps making it
a little easier to clean up such "offenses".

Same problem in firefox/win32. In source there are tags like
<a name="feats">  and <a name="incompat">
I guess they can be fixed by adding </a> eg.
<a name="feats"></a>  and <a name="incompat"></a>
