In some ways, it'd be a pointless exercise/fighting a losing battle
for myspace to write valid code because as soon as the myspace users
start to "pimp their space", all that valid html goes out of the
window. Although that doesn't really excuse them from writing valid
code for the main part of the site but there you go.
