How long has it been since Microsoft's 12 tenets? Maybe 5?

I can assure you (without looking) that not only will the page fail to
validate, but also that it will break many rules in any CSS textbook and
incorporate (X)'HTML' that does not even exist. I can see it in E-mails sent
from Microsoft Outlook. Vile stuff. Firefox was actually implemented to
support some of that made-up 'HTML'. But why /should/ it?
Best wishes,
