Some of the generated HTML to be seen out there is breathtaking.
In amongst the swirling mess of codes in some pages you can see HTML
operations being opened and then immediately closed many times in
sequence. What the heck is this all about?
That sort of source code looks like it was written by someone who had
got their dynamical algebra for Dirac quantum modes mixed up with
their proof of the Lorentz transforms and then the cat came in and
threw up over it all. Jackson Pollock would no doubt have approved.

What a mess it can be. You would think most of the crud would have
been optimized out.
No wonder HTML looks hard if you start by looking at this sort of
tosh.
