Yet the page is being served as text/html and should thus
be parsed as such (and not as XHTML). The <head> region
should therefore terminate at the "/" of
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
and the ">" of the same should cause an error ("character data not allowed
here" or somesuch). Not the best example of an error-free page, IMHO, Dan ...
