This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
This page validates as HTML 4.01, but when you see the source it's clear that the HTML (<html>) open tag is not present, but the closing tag at the end is there (</html).
In HTML 4.01 it is allowed to omit the <html> start-tag, the </html> end-tag or both, so there is not really a bug here.
