The HTML validator goes fussy on some input tag it claims it's closed
but not opened, when it clearily is. Here's the HTML output of the
form:

<form name="postcomment" action="http://www.dcc.ufmg.br/~guedesav/
PbBlog/pages/comment.php" method="POST">
<p class="disclaimer">AVISO: seu comentário pode ser enviado para
moderação caso:<br/>

b) contenha material impróprio;<br/>
c) seja, possivelmente, spam;<br/>
Caso seu comentário não seja spam, mas sim um comentário legítimo,
aguarde algumas horas e a justiça será feita. Obrigado pela
paciência.</p>Nome:<br/><input type="text" name="nome" size="64" /
><br />Email(obrigatório; não será publicado):<br/><input type="text"
name="email" size="64" /><br />Site:<br/><input type="text" name="url"
size="64" /><br /><p>Comentário:<br /><textarea cols="56" rows="8"
name="content"></textarea></p><input type="checkbox"

</p>
<br /><input type="submit" value="Enviar Comentário" />
</form>

Besides, as I said, the form works finely in GET method, but not in
POST. If it goes fine with GET, how come the problem is with the
syntax?
