[Pmwiki-users] PmWiki and HTML syntax

Christian,

Generally, people are unwilling to elaborate on what
"out of spec" means to the point that I think they are
pulling the words out of their ass as a knee-jerk
reaction.  One fella said that there were closing
paras (</p>) with no opening paras, but I think he was
too lazy to look.  It's also possible that people are
confused by the "XHTML, Almost" that pmwiki tends to
produce.

Anyway, I was confused, so I thought I'd ask to see if
anyone else has heard similar.

Cheers
  ~ Paul
