If past hn links to stallman.org are any indication I expect to see complaints (probably legit ones even) about my html on that page within 5 minutes of this posting :)

Links should have a different colored :hover state (accessibility concerns) and there is a typo for the font-size of the `vol` class. Not sure if you're in charge of the CSS as well. :)

    .vol {
         margin-left: 5%;
         font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
         font-size=2.5em; // = should be :
    }
I didn't write too much of the css, but I do still take care of it. Not idea how that = instead of : slipped in. Even I'm not normally that bad with css (and emacs syntax highlighting even makes it clear that what was there was wrong). So I fixed that bit.

I agree about the :hover state for accessibility but since that touches the entire site (or at least should) and we already have some :hover stuff on the certain elements it requires a little thought/experimenting (more than I have time for this afternoon anyway).

Oh, you write his HTML? I thought he would write it himself. I know he reads HTML, as that's how I've seen him read webpages. I know he has volunteers to help install his polnotes. I didn't know others did the rest of the website for him.
He does do some html but generally he just provides things in plane text with maybe a little html markup in it.
Since you asked, in Firefox, do a view source on this page. It will helpfully highlight errors in red. I see 4:

No "--" in comments. (twice)

Missing equals: <li id"faux">

Missing space: <ahref="/uber.html">

I wasn't aware that Firefox view src had that. Cool, thanks. I fixed those and fixed one more that was hidden by one of those typos.
