It's not really that important... I expect that most people doing www/
work is on both lists.  Anyway it is prefered to send patches as PR's so
they don't get lost.

I don't particular think it's a goal to have tidy run without
error/warnings in itself, but I do think it would be great if the sgml
files under www/ are as correct as possible, which should in turn also
make tidy quite.  Hope the difference makes some sence.

I think the entire website (if possible) should be valid HTML.  I also
think this is more important than '2)', since people actually "see" the
resulting website.
