I'm using a component that detects the user argent, and outputs different HTML 
accordingly. This seems reasonable. However - since the user-agent returned  
by your system doesn't pick one of the fully-supported ones (e.g. MSIE) - it 
falls back to assume you have an ancient browser, and emits non-modern-
standard tags - like NOBR - which you then complain about.

I suggest a popup (option/select) to specify which user-agent you want the 
validator to simulate.
