W3's validator finds 59 errors, most are the normal noise but a couple of them
might be html errors causing this.

Reporter, please see http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html on how you
could help out with this.

There's also a large number of CSS errors and proprietary extensions on that
site.  This probably belongs in Tech Evangelism.

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Um, while it might be fun to point out the number of validation errors, it
rarely has anything to do with the actual business of triaging bugs. In this
case, the page is too wide because we apparently don't find anything to break
after in the long line of characters without spaces, though I would naively
expect U+FF0C to be a break-after opportunity.

jshin: my apologies for not better understanding our set of line-break bugs, but
does this add anything, or neatly fit as a duplicate of anything?

The validation process itself is interresting when a bug might be a case of
evangelism.

Note that the long line is in a <span> with a class that has style {
white-space: pre }...

Support for white-space: pre is broken in IE on Windows.

I wrote a nice email in English to their contact address about one week ago, but
no reply and no change on the page. Setting correct TechEvanglism component.

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
