um WINDOWS Live spaces from Microsoft


Microsoft commonly uses non standard coding in all their applications
and offerings
and this one is no exception


from
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...es.live.com%2F

621 errors!!!

Another fine example of Microsoft's poor coding practices

All those errors are a direct effect of the very first error. But
indeed, there would still be a lot of errors if the system identifier
would be right :P

An option might be forcibly switching to quirks mode (I guess), since
Live makes quirky use of the DOCTYPE tag on an XML-ish page. If
Firefox would interpret the page as SGML-ish, everything should work.
