I hope I haven't broken a tradition...

[snipped]

I know, more or less, of all errors you reported.  That's why pages
don't show up beautiful "XHTML compliant" and "CSS compliant" logos..
:..-(  But compatibility is one of my primary concern.  I'll keep your
very detailed report for future reference, when I fix all those bugs.
I hope you'll be available for consults.. ;-)

I didn't know this...

We don't have Apache, rather Caudium (and, to be honest, I've never use
it).

It's not Werner who uses entities, but WML (http://www.thewml.org/) that
translates them (see http://www.gnupg.org/index.wml).

I dont' use <h1> for that porpouse but for page title, like "The GNU
Privacy Guard" in http://www.gnupg.org/.

If such a standard adhering person can forget about all those tables
because he likes the site, it must mean that site looks pretty much
cool.  Thanks a lot!!!

You're much more than welcome!
