Yes, they are for HTML 4.01. After I replaced all instances of SVG with PNG,
it drops down to 1700.

The SVG-part generated P-elements inside of oneanother.

Some of the main issues it find are  BR-tags that are closed <BR /> which it
probably believes to be XHTML-code.

It doesn't like the "<tspan>" or the attributes associated with it such as
"font-weight", etc. .

I understand that this is a ton of work and there is really no need to keep
some ancient piece of software running. For the future i know that i have to
choose xhtml as the output format.

Generally one wants to work through such an error list one line at

Yes, that is also my experience.
