Check out this page:

http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/options/

No doctype, table layout, presentation attributes, font tags...

If somebody posted this page here for a critique it would be ripped to
shreds.

Run it through the W3C validator:

---8<---
No DOCTYPE found! Attempting validation with HTML 4.01 Transitional.
Failed validation, 120 Errors
--->8---

HTML has to be pretty bad to fail validation against HTML 4.01
Transitional, and with no less than 120 errors.

Is this also a clue that Google doesn't really care about the quality of
HTML when ranking pages?
