the problem seems to be the use of <H4> in the HTML,
which isn't recognised by Tagsoup for some reason;
the Tagsoup version is certainly readable, if less neat.
shouldn't we be moving towards a Pedantic/Degenerate distinction
-- ie what the specs say a/a doing the best to make it readable --
in handling questionable HTML? that corresponds to lynx-dev view-points.
i'm a notorious Degenerate, of course ...
