Result:
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML
parser.
No errors found!
Congratulations, this document validates as HTML 4.0 Transitional!
-----------------
Most obvious is that the parser doesn't recognise the 'blahblahblah' in the
quotes.
Second, in any case, percentage is illegal according to even the
transitional DTD. I can't find where percentage is allowed here. Maybe I'm
reading it wrong.
Yet people use %, and render it in browsers. What's the deal here?
