yep sorry about that, I should've posted the fix but I didn't think my
original message would get through as I accidentally posted using an email
address that I didn't sign up with.

anyway, the problem was that I was using the <.noscript> tag inside a <.p>
block... which apparently isn't allowable under XHTML 1.0, hence the
cryptic error message :( I'm not sure why that is, and it doesn't make much
sense to me!

an interesting tidbit is that I could've sworn the same incorrect HTML code
validated a few days ago, so I assume that there was a bug in the W3C
Validator that they fixed very recently.

In any case, the fix was to use a <.div> instead of a <.p> for the
particular paragraph in question, which works quite nicely as a <.noscript>
block can be used inside a <.div>. Of course it's probably not semantically
correct, but it's probably the simplest solution for this problem.
