Hi!  Running it through the validator now
(http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffedoraproject.org%2Fwiki%2F),
we do have valid HTML 4.01 strict, with three warnings (not errors).
I've actually specifically investigated those warnings in moin, and
apparently, moin is hardcoded to self-close these tags, even when it is
not outputting XHTML.  However, as the link says, it is still valid HTML
(although going strictly by the specs, which practically no browsers
follow in this respect, <hr /> doesn't do what one might expect).  

Since this is a wiki, there may be other pages with invalid HTML.
Thankfully, anybody can edit/correct these errors, so feel free to let
us know/edit them yourself.  

Thanks,
Ricky
