Making a testcase.

The issues seems to be with the menu on the left?  The problem is that the
stylesheets are defined as follows:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles/lugstyles.css"
  title="LUG-Styles">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles/menu.css"
  title="Menu-Styles">

This specifies two different preferred stylesheets, and Mozilla is forced to
pick one of them as the one to display....  The other one can be applied instead
from the View menu.

If the author really wanted both of those applied at once, the "title" attribute
should be the same or they should have no title attribute.  See
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#specifying-external

This looks invalid to me...

Updating URL.

I agree. As described on that W3C page, Mozilla uses the first style sheet. If
you swap the two links to the style sheets, Mozilla uses the other style sheet
(the style sheet for the menu).

Marking INVALID.
