Chuckle, that site finds 'em all.  And points the finger squarely at M$ 
when it does.  We use FrontPage for posting election results, and it does 
better that that, only 20 or so errors per page.

For those who'd like to investigate, http://www.w3c.org (I think org is 
right) has a validation function for all comers.  Just feed it the sites 
FQDN or IP address, it will download the site and grade it according to 
how many html errors it finds.
