Agreed, put other things first. When you do decide to take a crack at it,
let me know, and I should be able to give you a list of what needs changing.

The other thing is make the document stack perfect, i.e. match <tr> and
</tr>, match <p> and </p>, just match everything.

Finally, the & character should be replaced with &amp; This is of particular
note when you are doing href="page.php?prop=val&prop2=val2" - the & should
become &amp; This is the main problem that will stop you getting any W3C
validation (its required for HTML 4 even)

Other than that, most things will be small. Of course, you can always
redesign it to be all "semantic", by giving up on almost all formatting and
using stuff like <span class="comment">comment here</span>, and then
defining all the styles in css.
