It doesn't actually validate. (watch wrap)

You've got to blame the web development company for this one. We had a similar 
issue (before I started here) where the organisation I work for demanded s 
'standards compliant site redesign'. Unfortunately no one in the team was code 
savvy enough to police it and in the end we got an old school broken tables in 
tables in tables layout with a 40Kb stylesheet to semi-control layout.

The developers answer to making it 'standards compliant' was to add a DOCTYPE, 
which none of the code actually fits.

Now it's part of my job to try and clean up some of their mess and make it 
validate.

Standards compliance needs to be built into RFP's from the get-go and then 
enforced by companies who pay the web-dev's.

You have been warned ;)
