Well, I guess there's a philosophical question here -- are we attorneys
or are we programmers?
The sticklers are right, of course, to say that these pages are
chock-full of errors. But end users don't care if you're right, they
want to see the content. So if they have to choose between a program
that displays a reasonable facsimile of the author's intent and one that
displays hash, they'll choose the program that shows the content.
So would you rather be right, or would you rather be popular?
In an ideal world, I'd like to see SeaMonkey show a disclaimer (the way
it does in the mail app when it blocks remote content) saying something
along the lines that "this page contains fatal errors in its coding, but
we've done the best we could to divine what the designer wanted, and
we're showing you that but we might've guessed wrong." ;-)
