It's an issue of error handling. Because google has no FPI, SP (valet) is parsing it without a DTD, and using default SGML rules. So it has no way of knowing that <br> should be empty. This has been bothering me for some time, but it's not clear how best to fix it. Once upon a time we'd have inserted a default FPI, but all the validators have now stopped doing that. Maybe we should revert to that as a fixup? Hmm - I'll crosspost this to www-validator. Any other thoughts? -- Nick Kew Site Valet - the mark of Quality on the Web. <URL:http://valet.webthing.com/>
