Clearly, in the absence of a DTD, it is impossible to tell >which end tags are meant to be optional. It also give the URL of the page validated. I'm no expert, but when I went to that URL, in the source, the first lines of code say: <?xml version = "1.0"?> <icx_pubyear>2001</icx_pubyear> <icx_headline>Moles</icx_headline> <icx_url>http://www.dermadoctor.com/pages/newsletter153.asp</icx_url> <icx_story> After that, the whole document looks like HTML 4.0 Transitional, at best.
