> Unfortunately, with the way /. is written, while perfectly valid html,

Umm, *cough* *cough* ;-) ... not nearly close to being remotely true
here .... Slashdot is so bad that they have even blocked the W3C
validator as users were complaining about it. Try it... save the index
file (main page) of /. and upload it to the validator:

File:   Slashdot.htm
Encoding:       utf-8
Doctype:        HTML 3.2
Errors:         115

115 errors on one page is definitely not "perfectly valid html" :P

Actually the reason I bring this up is not to drill your opinion into
the ground (nothing personal), but it goes back to when I often used
dillo to surf with. Dillo, like many other browsers had big issues
rendering slashdot. We did a lot of searching around then and found it
to have terrible code. There were several compaints sent to slashdot to
at least try fix their code. It seemed then only to get worse.
Eventually we gave up, and they seem to have blocked validation services
from showing just how bad their code actually is.

All I'm trying to point out here is that you cannot base *any* browser
on slashdot's code... that is unless you are testing for crashes ;-0
