Whatever the state of the HTML in the main page, it loads well in
browsers. The fact that the person who wrote the page may know how to
read the necessary documentation for what he does and code what he does
code is quite a bit more important than details of how he writes HTML at
this point.
The fact is that if you feel the pages are deficient, you should, maybe,
raise your arm and offer to fix them? No? They probably would not turn
you down if you offered. The answer to you was ironic and I suppose it
all depends on what you want for the end product. Good software or
spiffy documentation. In a fast moving project, you have one or the
other. Never both.
