This thread is getting longer by the minute, but I enjoy the debate :-)
I have found a very high correlation between malformed documents and
the use of tables (with the errors occurring in direct association
with table code).
OK, you found a strong correlation, but are you drawing the right
conclusion?
1. How many were generated with a WYSIWYG editor?
2. How many were generated by some sort of server side script?
3. How recently had they been updated?
4. Were they "nested tables rule!" types (which I hate too)?
It's a bit like statistics - they can be used to prove almost anything,
depending on how you interpret them :-)
