I don't care much about the marketing guys....

"Doesn't validate" is not a proper statement. "Doesn't validate
against DTD X" is. If you use the HTML 3.0 DTD, it will validate.
It will validate with <URL:http://www.ny.fnx.com/abigail/abigail.dtd>
as well. And I assume it will validate with "it's all in here" HTMLPro
DTD as well.
