the only thing i was hoping to catch that you didn't was a non-closing tag
with a trailing slash without the optional leading space.  i know the
leading space is optional, but without it some browsers hork badly.  so, i'd
like to catch <br/> as invalid and convert to <br />.  my guess is this will
likely need to be an entirely separate check though.

other than that i found what you put together to be awesome.  thanks a ton.
i'll be playing around with that today to see what i can do with it.

thanks,

.jeff
