I dunno. Seems pretty unwiki to me. One of the key principles of wikipedia is that anyone can edit without having to know much of anything. Requiring them to input semantically perfect HTML seems a bit much.
Of course, I have no opposition to having some easy way for people who care about such things (not me) to run any page through a validator _if they feel like it_.
The validator assumed the contents was HTML 2.0 (!), because of the insufficient DTD declaration at the top of the HTML code.
O.k., well, I'm in over my head a bit. My feeling is that we should be generating a very low level of HTML, so that all browsers can be sure to render it. So why do we want to force 4.0?
