Summary: Konqueror can't render docs because of malformed HTML

Initial Comment:
At least on page Python-Docs-2.3.3/lib/re-syntax.html 
Konqueror doesn't render the <DL> definition part 
correctly (the <DT> part is not being displayed). 
 
The reason appears to be malformed HTML, as to cite 
Stephan Kulow of KDE Project: 
 
"No, this is not correct HTML and you might want to 
report it to the python maintainers.  
  
I wonder why they use <dl compact> (which is correct 
HTML) when they put a <P> in there (which is not 
correct).  
  
Send your snippet through tidy to see how it looks as 
correct HTML (and as such it's rendered correctly by 
konqueror)"

Fixing up the HTML by hand didn't correct the rendering in
Konqueror, and the related KDE bug is now marked as fixed in
the KDE CVS repository. 

Bug 899423 covers the LINK issue.

In fact, the HTML code is not valid. See, e.g.,
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/lib/boolean.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&sp=1&outline=1&No200=1&verbose=1

And the link-tag which links to the next page appears twice.
E.g., there is
<LINK rel="next" href="comparisons.html">
twice on the page
http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/lib/boolean.html

This is very annoying when using the link toolbar for
Mozilla Firefox.
