I humbly submit the result of validating it against W3C's services....
For the record, the MARGIN formatting attributes are not only bogus,
but recent. The CSS doesn't validate either...
Directly resolving the URL led my copy of MSIE to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/c-frame.htm#/standards/default.asp
and thus an infinite loop of downloading nested frames, as best as I
can tell.
