Blockquoth the poster:

Still curious, I tried running msn.com and microsoft.com through the validator. I was totally taken aback when the validator reported ZERO ERRORS in *either* of these pages.

Interesting. When I tried "www.microsoft.com", I received the much more alarming

Fatal Error: no document type declaration; will parse without validation
I could not parse this document, because it uses a public identifier that is not in my catalog.
You should make the first line of your HTML document a DOCTYPE declaration, for example, for a typical HTML 4.01 document:

It seems to me that "fatal error" is a lot worse than a bunch of formatting tags that don't parse. Of course, this is Microsoft, where "fatal error" is better known as "standard operating procedure". :)

Oh, by the way, the page choked on both Opera and IE, so it's not a browser thing. And it choked on "microsoft.com", too. On the other hand, "msn.com" only produced 19 errors, of essentially the same type as "slashdot.org".
