What's funny is that Slashdot gives an HTTP 403 to validator.w3.org

I saved the source of this comment page and fed it to the validator. Made 117 errors, among them a fairly serious one:

Line 2007, column 7: end tag for "TABLE" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this

It also has _tons_ of unclosed LI tags. These obviously can mess up the display quite a lot. Except for that, the errors are mainly cosmetic - & instead of & and some spurious attributes which aren't in the 3.2 standard (nobr, iframe height etc.).

The missing </table> is probably the most serious issue.
