In general, firefox doesn't like <a name="foo"/>, for some reason - it
doesn't consider it closed. Needs to be <a name="foo"></a>. Without
doing this, all paragraphs will be underlined when the mouse hovers over
them...

Unfortunatly, this seems to go for all languages - as they are copied...


I also notice there is no header on the page - there was one for 8.0.
Was that really intentinoal?
(8.0 had <h1>PostgreSQL 8.0 Press Kit</h1>, 8.1 has only subheaders)

In the english list, this one is ilnked from "Greek", that seems wrong.

Under "Corporate support" there is a "</h3>" at the end of the
paragraph, but no opening <h3>. Thus, not valid HTML.

There is no 8.1 file in cvs that I can find.

Not valid XHTML, but it looks like it could be an encoding issue. See

Me too ;) But I can tell which are wrong by feeding them through the
XHTML validator at w3.org.

They can be converted with "iconv" if you know the source encoding,
though. But you need to know the source...

There is a list at the bottom of the page that refers to a whole lot of
languages that don't exist... Such as Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish,
Slovenian, Swedish, Turkish (may be more, didn't check carefully).

Not valid XHTML, see

The "USA & General" <a> anchor needs to go inside the <dt>.
& needs to be &
