when i hire, i would rather see clean code, closed tags, proper 
nesting... missing quotes and stuff i can train... OTOH, if they use 
quotes and such, but their code formatting is bad, i can train that, 
too... IOW, do what you do, don't cut corners, it's not a speed 
test...

never do less than you are capable... ultimately, if i administered a 
test and there were no quotes and unclosed TDs, i'd move that 
person down the list below someone who did close and quote...

> 4. if you think they care about your design skills, think again.

i've already determined that in the portfolio phase... all i want to 
know is if the person is capable of coding... an HTML test shouldn't 
tell me anything about whether or not the person can design, it's 
just code...
