Yes. This is why I mentioned the doctype, and possibly tidy.

For example, your page at constitution.org uses an xhtml doctype, but 
the markup is html.
To be xhtml it would need to be converted (tools -> HTML Syntax checking.)
Or you could just change the doctype to html, but you may still need to 
validate everything via tidy.

Of course tidy needs to be installed on your system to work.
It can be found and installed via yum on redhat.

Hi all,
just in case anyone is interested those tickets I found at a reasonable
price 
on orbitz.com... Last night at midnight it said I had to call the airlines, 
but when I did they said I had to call during working hours EST, which means

5 AM Pacific time. Turns out Orbitz was off by about $1800 and I understand 
they do this a lot. After much lost sleep and frustration it seems that the 
money that was committed contingent on tickets is somewhere between
$500-$700 
short of my best guess on priceline.com. Actually I'm $300 dollars closer 
now, but this does not include extra travel between Portland and Seattle for

connecting flights or accommodations. I don't feel right spending that much 
money on me when I owe so much to Andras and Michal, but the money committed

for my airfare _must_ be expensed for my travel. So unless someone is 
compelled to benevolently insist I go in the next 8 hours (as much as $400)
I 
will be sitting this one out. Not that I'm complaining. I've given up and 
several times and started packing several times. After it's over I can 
relax. ;-)

Of course we can all still buy Andras dinner and I still owe him money. So
our 
funding requirement remains. I just don't feel right allocating too to 
myself.

Many thanks to Joff, Ewald and others for helping out. Maybe I'll just buy 
lunch as a consolation and send the rest to Andras. ;-) For now I'm either 
going to go to the gym or take a nap as this rollercoaster ride has left me 
feeling hungover emotionally and physically.

Thanks again to all who have supported us. I've given a little less
attention 
to the project this year but the groundwork has been laid in my business for

me to have more time and finances to focus more calmly and consistently on 
Quanta 4.0.

Just in case people are actually entertained by my insanity... I got the
idea 
that maybe I could show up late and still get in most of the conference and
I 
figured leaving on a Monday would be unpopular enough, as well as trying for

departure from Seattle. It's 3.5 hours drive to SEA-TAC airport for me so 
that's 7 hours round trip if I'm driven. I figured I could get a cheap
flight 
or catch a bus or train. I found tickets I could afford and began 
investigating puddle jumper fares. Apparently turboprops are golden because 
they were charging over $200 for a hop. While looking at this and eating 
dinner airfares went up $300. 

Once again I could go and then I couldn't, in a matter of hours. I began to 
search furiously, even going to a site with "zoo" in the name and finally 
landing on airfareplanet.com where fares were half what they were anywhere 
else. It seemed desperately wrong, but I clicked low fare after low fare 
waiting for it to come back and tell me there was no availability. After a 
dozen or so times I thought I had done them all and data came up... It set a

reservation leaving from Portland at over $400 less than the closest fare
and 
below the amount I had been sponsored for travel. Of course I'm confident 
I'll get a phone call or email tomorrow that there is some problem with my 
tickets. ;-)

Okay, dinner is on again... for now. Let's hope I don't have to transfer to 
camelback or something before this is over. ;-)
