It appears that the footer at the bottom of the page is displaying at the top
and to the right of the rest of the document.  This is inside a
<table><tr><td>.  Don't know why it is layout out this way, reducing the test
case...

This page gives new meaning to the words "malformed html".
I managed to reduce this a bit, attaching.

The root of the problem appears to be a missing <td> (one in particular, there
were many).  This page will probably need some parser changes to lay out like
Nav lays it out in addition to possibly some table changes.  Passing to Harish
first to look at the parse output.

Note that the footer row ends up contained in the main body row, which causes
the cell inside to lay out in the same row as the body rather than a new row
below it.
