Hello there!
I'm fresh to this list, but don't want to intruduce my self.

The Drupal Theme/Page has some flaws, Tidy gives me this on the 
drupal.org Startpage:
Zeile 61 Zeichen 74 - Warnung: unescaped & or unknown entity "&task"
Zeile 61 Zeichen 84 - Warnung: unescaped & or unknown entity "&id"
Zeile 190 Zeichen 54 - Warnung: <wbr> is not approved by W3C
Zeile 195 Zeichen 110 - Warnung: <wbr> is not approved by W3C
Zeile 201 Zeichen 102 - Warnung: <wbr> is not approved by W3C
Zeile 217 Zeichen 1206 - Warnung: <wbr> is not approved by W3C
Zeile 217 Zeichen 1626 - Warnung: <wbr> is not approved by W3C
Zeile 15 Zeichen 85 - Warnung: <link> inserting "type" attribute
Zeile 21 Zeichen 9 - Warnung: <a> attribute "href" lacks value

Also some Pages with have problems on 1024x768.

I know it's Microsoft, but if they really want to commit Bugreports, 
Screenshots, workarounds or anything else to make the site better 
visible/useable for the upcoming 80% of all webusers.
Why should anyone stand against it. Also IE7 should support the most 
Webstandards at startup, so it should be easy to support this little 
peace of crap.
