Running tidy -modify on the .html files in ./sgml/html/ gets the
number of invalid HTML files down to 4 from 224 [1]. I took a quick
look at a few of the resulting pages in Firefox, and couldn't see any
visual difference between the original and tidy'ed versions.

I think it would be a good idea to add a step in ./sgml/Makefile to
run tidy on all the .html files produced. Anyone interested in doing
this?

[1] For reference, the 4 remaining invalid files are: index.html,
functions-string.html, biblio.html, and ecpg-variables.html
