Hi Luis, the icons being use on [1] are not intended to distinguish between 
a "valid product" and a "valid html" page. They are only for indicating a 
valid page, of which [1] is not. (In fact, an entry from Mark Linburg even 
states that your "new homepage" is valid CSS and XHTML.) So please remove 
the icons or use them in accordance with their directions.

I don't understand this, you mean every Tiki site displays the "Valid HTML" 
logo, regardless of whether it is valid HTML? If so, that sounds like a bad 
idea.

Regardless, I'm sure you can appreciate the awkwardness of trying to 
convince the public that valid HTML is a good thing, and then prominent 
sites display the logo for invalid content! <smile/>
