Comments, criticisms, elaborations etc welcome.

Aside from the usual proofreading errors, I notice that the picture of
Samuelson overlies the text quote.

?!?

What browser/resolution are you using?

The browser must be fairly old because the only thing that could cause
that is that the img element tag isn't verbosely closed, as per xhtml
standards.


The <img> is in fact closed, as it ends in />. Leaving it open will
cause an XML validation error. Closing it somewhere else enclosing
other elements will result in an XHTML validation error; since the page
says it's validated by W3C's validator this is very unlikely.

I'm not seeing anything unusual with my copy of Epiphany, though I'm not
sure which image royls is referring to (there are several quotes and a
number of caricatures, pictures, and graphs throughout the site, with
the logo at the upper left).

http://www.taxreform.com.au/economists.php

contains a quote by Paul Samuelson, with a picture; the quote is in
black-lettering-on-gray. Both IE and Firefox have no problems with
this. Even Dillo renders this more or less properly, except that it
puts the quote below the picture as opposed to the left side thereof.
Since Dillo is brain-dead about CSS this is expected. Dillo also
indicates 16 syntax errors, but that's because it doesn't like
constructs such as <br />.

The construct <h2><i></i></h2> looks a little odd. This is probably an
artifact of the site generator used, and is clearly unnecessary if one
is well-versed in CSS. (Tables containing <h1> and <h2> can also be
placed in that category.)
