This is the typical result when using some XML output mode to generate
XHTML. Many technical reports have such issues. I tried for a couple of
years to fix this, even wrote a tool to detect such issues, available at
http://qa-dev.w3.org/~bjoern/appendix-c/validator/ but since integrated
into the Markup Validator, but I could not persuade The Webmaster to pay
any attention to this problem when publishing documents. I note that
this causes serious issues in some browsers. The easy solution is to run
the documents through HTML Tidy prior to publication.
