P.S. I have been running into lots and lots of font tags that make our output invalid XHTML but would be valid if they were span tags, but of course can't be span tags because span tags are forbidden. Can we PLEASE allow span tags so that we can begin the process of making Wikipedia pages be valid XHTML?
1) Can you please check in the w3c validator and confirm that they are invalid?
2) We're not adding new HTML tags, we already have too many. We hope to reduce the number in the future but have other things to do.
