When I go to this website with SM 2: www.cattlenetwork.com, I get the

Any ideas what this might be about? If someone else would be so kind
as to try this website and see if you get the same would be appreciated.
Yes, I get it too, with SM 1.1.16.
The point of the message is that if you have a <meta> tag you must also
have a </meta> tag (that's what "mismatched" means -- it's like having
an opening parenthesis without a closing parenthesis). When the parser
reaches the </head> tag, it gives up.
In HTML the META element doesn't have an end tag. However they serve
the page explicitly specifying 'Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml'
which makes the browser use an XML parser. Seems they sniff on the
'User-Agent' request header and serve different 'Content-Type' depending
on the browser, as I don't get problem using Firefox 3.5, Safari 4 and
Opera 10.
Yes, Internet Exploiter 8 is told it's text/html, but SeaMonkey is not.
How about that.
Not your fault, not your browser's fault, though I suppose some might
say the browser should overlook this error. Internet Exploiter does.
Internet Explorer doesn't understand XHTML. It parses it as regular
tag-soup HTML.
Hard to know /what/ this is -- an embedded graphic in the XHTML code???
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="
[51,256 characters of alphabet soup snipped]
" />
Hell, it took IE four minutes just to /display/ all this crap in Notepad.
