There's not one, but four errors in the style sheet above. Can you
find them? Here's one solution:
<head><title>Portable Network Graphics</title>
<style type="text/css"><!--
body {background: white; color: black }
h1, h2, h3 {font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif }
--></style>
</head>
The person who is responsible for this document, Chris Lilley, has a
very valid excuse for not fixing them himself. Find out why from [1].
