This appears to be a problem in the validator's I/O routines. If you
check "Show source" in the validator's options, you'll see that it
thinks that the document is empty. That is, it does not get any data.
Checking with the viewer
http://www.rexswain.com/cgi-bin/httpview.cgi
which shows the response headers and a hex dump of the content, I cannot
see anything wrong there. (I suspected a 00 byte but didn't find any.)
As a workaround, until this gets fixed, you can use the validator at
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/
The good news is that there are just a few errors, all fixable simply by
replacing presentational attributes by CSS rules (or by using
Transitional DTD).
The bad news is that any released version of IE won't display the page
at all, since it is served as application/xhtml+xml.
