If it's going to be served used as the browser startpage, it should
probably be HTML from the beginning. (Is <a href="http://start.ubuntu.com">start.ubuntu.com</a> going to be
running before Dapper Final? Is this page also envisioned as the basis
of the start.u.c homepage?)<br>

I haven't had a chance to view it in an actual browser yet, but
the code commit looks OK - one thing that caught my eye is the point
where there are **three** nested divs to contain a single piece of information:<br>
<br>
+ <div class="sect1" lang="C" xml:lang="C"><br>
+ <div class="titlepage"><br>
+ <div><br>
+ <div><br>
+ <h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="id2489079"<br>
+ name="id2489079"></a>Getting Help with Ubuntu</h2><br>
+ </div><br>
+ </div><br>
+ </div><br>
<br>
Of the four opening div tags at the top of this fragment, I can't see
why the 3rd & 4th exist at all - they have no class or id, no
styles, nothing. If this was auto-converted from XML by something
(Tidy?) I'm guessing it's some quirk of the translator/converter.<br>
<br>
Given that you can also apply styles to headers (the h2 in this case)
we might be able to strip the code down even further to just a simple
h2.<br>
<br>
Gah, I hate being away from my own machine & setup - I'm
housesitting right now and have no access to my own Ubuntu box... I'll
see what I can do about looking into this HTML sometime this week,
though.<br>
