Oh, great, now I'm coming up with ways to improve the HTML code on this LiveJournal in my sleep. I think I might have thought of a way to solve most of the friends-page validation problems (briefly: given their varied internal structure, an LJ event really ought to be a DIV element, which can contain nested block-level elements, rather than a P, which can officially contain only inline content).

Doing this will also enable various showoffy special effects, such as an easy, syntactically correct way to put giant dropcaps and book-like paragraph formatting in posts of the author's choosing. Addendum: Without, I should add, affecting the appearance of the entry on others' friends pages, so you can be a good neighbor!

It will probably be a little while before I have the time to play around with it, though. Update: You knew I couldn't resist, right? To be this fancy I do have to turn off auto-formatting and put in paragraphs by hand, though.

This journal now looks pretty good in Lynx. The userinfo pages don't, though. I don't have any control over that.
