Here's the validation link:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F6yrcw5c&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&ss=1&verbose=1

The page is still a WIP and I reduced the CSS to fit everything in 8192 
chars, so only Firefox prefixes means no other browsers will do the 
zooming.
I got the validator to show the source for people to easily see if I 
made a mistake somewhere.
