I specifically marked the document HTML4/Transitional because there are
stylesheet attributes which NS4.5 does not yet support, and it does not
seem sensible to conform to a strict standard that is not yet supported by
any browser generally available.
As for the weblint results, most of the errors seem nonsense to me:
> line 12: unknown attribute "TYPE" for element <link>.
> line 12: illegal value for TYPE attribute of link (text/css)
TYPE="text/css" is valid HTML4
> line 14: did not see <LINK REV=MADE HREF="mailto..."> in HEAD.
I will add this.
> line 17: unknown attribute "LEFTMARGIN" for element <BODY>.
> line 17: unknown attribute "TOPMARGIN" for element <BODY>.
> line 17: unknown attribute "BGCOLOR" for element <BODY>.
> line 17: unknown attribute "TEXT" for element <BODY>.
> line 17: unknown attribute "MARGINWIDTH" for element <BODY>.
> line 17: unknown attribute "MARGINHEIGHT" for element <BODY>.
> line 17: unknown attribute "LINK" for element <BODY>.
All of these attributes are for backwards-compatibility with old browsers
and are overridden by stylesheets.
> line 22: unknown attribute "BORDER" for element <IMG>.
This is part of the HTML4 standard.
> line 26: unknown element <SPAN>. (and many other occurrences)
> line 28: unknown element </SPAN>.
SPAN is part of the HTML4 standard.
> line 82: unknown attribute "TARGET" for element <a>.
TARGET is a valid attribute in HTML4.
> line 95: <B> is physical font markup -- use logical (such as STRONG).
I have used both B and STRONG in the document, each with their own
meaning. <B> is for specifically for font markup where text needs to be
bold, and <STRONG> changes the typestyle to accent the text in a "louder"
fasion. Although <B> is 'discouraged' in HTML4 markup, it is not
deprecated.

I will fix this.
