No, the output is *not* legal HTML 4 since it is in a XML syntax, not SGML
one. There are some differences between XML and SGML in what is allowed. For
example empty tags like <this/> do not exist in SGML, and therefore browsers
that don't support XHTML (and hence XML) might get confused.

I'm not sure since I'm unable to test, but I have a feeling most AmigaOS
browsers do not support XHTML but do support HTML 4. For example, they have
mostly very spotty CSS support, so it wouldn't suprise. Whether or not this
results in bad display, I don't know (don't have the possibility to test it
right now; I might do so this weekend).
