The version of HTML that SpamBayes uses (and has to use, for various
reasons) is XHTML 1.0 (or above), which means that the HTML has to be valid
XML.  What this means is that every tag needs a closing tag (so for every
<p> there is a </p>, for example).  Older HTML versions don't require this
(and a lot of HTML generators don't do it), and browsers generally do the
job correctly either way.  Empty tags, like br and hr, can either be written
<br></br>, or abbreviated <br/>.  It's just the (now) correct way to write a
<br> tag.

I believe (but haven't checked) that it should default to px if no unit of
measurement is given, but I don't see any reason why we couldn't generate
the file with the units explicitly there if it helps.  I'll check this
change in (in a day or so).  Thanks for finding this.

I'll check this out, too, thanks.

I'll look into that.

I'll look into this - I don't think that the ids are required to be unique,
but I'm not 100%.  The code that puts the pages together dynamically uses
the ids to refer to each piece, so it definitely has to be the id attribute
and not the name one.

Great :)  I still think it's worth fixing, but I'm unlikely to have time to
look at this until Tuesday.  I'll update then.
