He might be using an external editor, then putting its HTML spew in the WP
editor. WP generates very nice XHTML. It has always had standards as a top
priority.

Whatever happens, Microsoft will play dirty and lie about uptime. VMWare will
sue, Microsoft will settle (bribe) and try to get away with it. Fortunately,
both Linux and VMWare continue to grow, so Microsoft will need to pull a
Netscape to survive here. Let's hope Bush and co. walk away into the horizon
before that day arrives.
