I don't know what DW produces, but HTML generated (perpetrated?) by MSWord tends
to include things like this:
<font color=red><font size=4></font></font>

That's right, two font tags not one, and no content. Then it does it again. And follows up
with <P></P>: still no content.

That's the simplest example I can think of, anyway.

The next would be where the font tags do have content, but are done separately (and
identically) for each line of text.
