You claim it's valid XHTML (through the logo at the bottom of the page)
but it isn't. You are using something like <a href="..."title="">...</a>
This is legal SGML (HTML), but XML (XHTML) requires a whitespace
character between attribute specifications. The HTML Validator doesn't
catch this, due to a limitation in the XML support of the used SGML
parser. We are working on that, stay tuned ;-)
