This is a bit off-topic, sorry...
What exactly is that firefox plugin checking? As far as I know,
this kind of thing:
<hr />
is not valid HTML. It is valid XHTML of course. All browsers
just ignore the "/" character, but I can't think of any document
where this is defined. Does anybody know?
The validator also complained about this:
<P>
<UL> <LI> ....
</UL>
</P>
Ok, fine, you can't nest <UL> inside of <P>. But the spec defines
well what happens in this case. The first <P> tag is closed
automatically by the <UL>. The resulting empty paragraph <P>
is discarded (*special* html rule for <P> - empty paragraphs
have no effect on document layout). The final </P> is discarded
because it doesn't match any opening tag.
So in this case the incorrect HTML is equivalent to the HTML
suggested by the validator. Fair enough I guess, both versions
are unambiguous and the suggested version is better.
