Well, obviously I didn't have the time to check every page. The problems on here are also trivial with an improperly formed list at the top (which browsers usually guess fine), and a warning about div names which is also easily fixed and probably harmless. > Specific complaint - many pages require enormous horizontal > space, such > that I have to use horizontal scrollbars.

I've had a look at the user guide in Konqueror which should be reasonably similar to Safari being base don the same renderer and it looks fine. Usually the horizontal scrolling is a problem for the user of wide source fragments inside <source/> tags. This will happen on any page that uses preformatted text, and is the responsibility of the xdoc authors. Are there and maven doco pages that cause this problem for you? What is the screen res you are using/browser size? As far as making the pages valid XHTML its an admiral goal, but one that will reap little benefit being that all pages display as designed, and there are more important things to focus on. Still I filed this as an issue in JIRA yesterday - if you've got a patch I'll be happy to apply it. Cheers, Brett
