HTML tagging error ettiquette -Reply

[John Rosenhamer]

Forget it.  What harm is done to you or me?  WYSWYG editors do all
sorts of queer things.  and the numbers are color codes.

P.S.  If you know them and they know you then I guess you don't bother
them.

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.
