Hi,

Ok, the pages don't validate (http://validator.w3.org/).

This isn't life-threating, but I think we should at least build the
*homepage* so that it validates. It seems that there are block-level
elements inside inline elements (UL inside SPAN), which causes the
validation to break. Nothing else.

Mostly the base of the code on other pages is valid XHTML, but the
content is malformed. Common mistakes I find there are problems with
case (CLASS instead of class) and empty elements not ended (<br> instead
of <br />). This must be legacy of the HTML days.

I don't know if we can do anything about this (on behalf of other
pages), but at least I felt like I should inform the rest of the folks
here. XHTML is a little different from HTML, eventhough XHTML 1.0
Transitional tries to imitate HTML 4.01 Transitional as far as possible.
All tags have to be ended, everything has to be in lowercase, A elements
can't contain other A elements, the LANGUAGE attribute of SCRIPT is
deprecated, etc. etc.

The new design calls for standards compliance... but the website would
be just equally standards compliant on HTML 4.01 Transitional. That way
pages not validating now would pass. I know we can't do go back anymore
though, nor we should.

Regards,
Miikka Leskinen
