Documents written today should generally be written in HTML 4.01
Strict.[1] You will probably have to do some work to configure FrontPage
to output markup that conforms to this standard, and might well have
to do manual repair work as well.

Microsoft products have a reputation for being very very poor at
generating HTML. So much that they managed to came up with
