This is entirely our (Zope.org website maintainers) fault. Zope.org in it's
current state has somewhat "evolved" over time as people had some spare time
to apply fixes in between jobs, which shows in the, ahem, dare I say "quality"
of the produced HTML.

That said, we did _try_ to bring up the HTML to succesfully validate through
W3C's tools, but as it turns out Netscape's CSS implementation is so buggy we
need to leave the </H2> end-tags to keep things working.. =(
