At your "url" I get stuff like this:

2006-1-11 http://www.icra.org/rdfs/vocabularyv03#
thebicyclingguitarist.net ss.webring.com
thebicyclingguitarist\.net/songs/longhair\.htm$
thebicyclingguitarist\.net/songs/99point\.htm

thebicyclingguitarist\.net/songs/spankthe\.htm
thebicyclingguitarist\.net/songs/marylou\.htm
thebicyclingguitarist\.net/songs/legalize\.htm Label for all/most
of website 1 1 1 1 1 1 No nudity; No sexual material; No
violence; No potentially offensive languag...

What are you doing? Post a url with all the bells and whistles
http:// etc and test it beforehand.

In the source code is this sort of thing:

<label:Ruleset>

on and on. This is not any usual HTML writing practice?
