Hello there!

I'm having problems with the following piece of HTML, when running
it through htmlchek (v4.1) on MSDOS 5.0 with GNU AWK 2.15:

=====
Table error in htmlchek.aww?

Table error in htmlchek.aww?

Sports Information
Music Miscellaneous

Sports Info Music Misc

=====

The errors go like this:

=====
Improper nesting ERROR! at line 11 of file "table.tst": /TABLE expected, /TR found
Improper nesting ERROR! at line 14 of file "table.tst": /BODY expected, /TR found
Improper nesting ERROR! at line 14 of file "table.tst": /HTML expected, /TABLE found
Extraneous /BODY tag without preceding BODY tag ERROR! at line 19 of file "table.tst", Ignoring
Extraneous /HTML tag without preceding HTML tag ERROR! at line 20 of file "table.tst", Ignoring
Pending unresolved <x> without </x> ERROR! of level 1 at END of file "table.tst" on tag HTML
Pending unresolved <x> without </x> ERROR! of level 1 at END of file "table.tst" on tag BODY
=====

There are no errors shown, if I omit the two </TR>s.
According to what I've read, and to the contents of the htmlchek.awk
file, </TR> should be optional, not forbidden.
I've set htmlchek up to validate as HTML 3.0, and the only other thing
I've changed, is making <p>...</p> only a container, no single
<p> allowed.

Did I screw up somewhere, or is somebody else able to duplicate this?
Thanks.
