Thanks for correcting me. I worded it inproperly. For example, in
the code returned by Live Space, they use <br> instead of <br /> so
that Blogger will complain that this tag is not valid because it
doesn't have a closing tag. Another example is that the contents of a
lot of the tag attributes like "color" and "size" are not surrounded
by quotes.
