I'm not sure when it happened, but somewhere the main Wikipedia site started putting out HTML with:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? ... !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN" ...
I believe this changed just a few days to a week before I added my bug report to http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Wikipedia_bugs on 17 November. It's rather obvious in Mozilla and Netscape 6, because the DOCTYPE triggers strict parsing mode and the tag soup method of nested <DL> elements for indents stops working.
Well, it says HTML 4 Transitional now, but it's still not right. There's an <hr> inside a <font> tag and the nested <dl> stuff still isn't considered valid. (Mozilla ignores it)
