The earliest versions of HotJava validated, but there's this evil
thing called "bad HTML" that quickly reared its ugly head.  No HTML
browser can possibly afford to validate.  Instead, they compete on
how many violations of HTML syntax they can "add value to".

Let's all do our bit to prevent this from happening with XML.  Any
time you see a tool accepting or generating illegal XML, yell at its
vendor until its fixed!
