No time at the moment.... I'm going to move to Norway in a few days and
I'm quite busy getting things ready for that.

This means that we have to find _all_ errors in the HTML source. This is
quite impossible, as we allow certain things in the parser that are not
HTML4 compliant (otherwise we would just break about every HTML page out
there...). What can be done however is the other way round. If khtml finds
an error, the page is surely not html4 compliant.
