One thing I have found, that is annoying, and indicates that I should
probably test it with one of the validators (eg
http://validator.w3.org/) is that Mozilla and IE's tag parsers place
different precendents. So if I have something like:
<a href='mypage.html>My Page</a>

Mozilla will display the page fine since it looks like it places < & >
over " & ' , however IE will not display the link correctly because it
says that the url hasn't finished.

Normally HTML editors will pick this up, but when I've done this via
Java servlets with ' escaping for example, Mozilla successfully
rendering it is a problem.

Anyway I'm not sure I had a point, except perhaps to share Onno's
frustration :)
