No. There's tons of FONT elements and BASEFONT and defining table cells background color and breaks without the trailing slash and what not. Plus, when you remove the DTD, you get nothing. It won't validate.
ouch, basefont and font tags are a bit sloppy :-S I just quickly skimmed the source of the page i was viewing then noticed image tags ended with /> 'n such. didnt notice any basefont tags though.. not that i read every line of code ofcourse, im too lazy for that, but it looked ok, I've had far, faaaaar more crappy code forwarded to me from people. I'm not sure what u mean with removing the dtd? There's been such a long debate on the use of tables for formatting that I won't go into that. I can only say that I think you can use them to format the page. But a proper CSS means no such things as defining the colors and font-family in the HTML.
I did agree they should have that. If they dont its a little sloppy. Still, I think there was just not any attention paid to this kind of issues regarding "clean coding" because the initial idea wasnt to include user adjustable designs at all? I agree it's not really 100% clean, but I use css style properties throughout my HTML too when I know it's not going to conflict with other functionalities that have to be included in my site. After all, it's rather nice to have at least some of your styles propperties right there in your code in front of your nose instead of having to switch to external stylesheets every time and then switch back to your html or php file.
