Now, I'm all for standards compliance, and it's especially important
with HTML since the point of the standard is that the content will
degrade gracefully in browsers that don't implement everything...

BUT. I'd say something to be more proud of about the PLUG pages is
that they do contain useful content. Implementing all the pages
using absolutely correct HTML 4.0 is less important to me than
being able to read the relevant content in lynx, and I've been able
to do that with the PLUG pages since I first tried (and, I'd expect,
it's been possible since they went up).

None of this is to put your changes down, Darxus, just to keep
things in perspective. What pisses me off is not a lack of standards
compliance. An entirely compliant web page with nothing but an
embedded flash application pisses me off. A page that sets off lynx's
"bad HTML!" message and then delivers content I can read doesn't.
