One other thing about the PLUG website that I wanted to see fixed.  I
ran the thing through validator.w3.org and got this:

Sorry, this document does not validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional.

If you use CSS in your document, you should also check it for validity using the W3C 
CSS Validation Service.

</validator>

I think we ought to fix the HTML generated so EVERYTHING comes out
validating against some web standard such as HTML 4.01 or XHTML
1.0. Guess it shouldn't be too hard to make this effort.
