Ok, here's an odd question. I was looking at the source code of someone's
page and noticed a lot of weird stuff (for example, <font
color="990000"><font size="+2">blah blah</font></font>, empty containers
<center></center> and 20 <br>&nbsp; at the end of the file), although it
comes up alright in the browser. It has all the signs of having been done
in some WYSIWYG editor and wasn't run through a validator. Would it be
really obnoxious to inform someone that their tagging wasn't correct, or
just forget about it?  By the way, I don't know this person. If I did I'd
have no problem emailing them.
