No, I've checked the changes I made very carefully. I think if there 
was an extra "<" somewhere it would show up all the time.

It is definitely not mismatched < and > but I have narrowed down the 
problem. One of the forms has an 'action' attribute which, including 
encoded ampersands, quotes, etc. is 257 characters long. If I move the 
closing ">" onto the next line the problem goes away. Other tweaks 
caused the following table to be corrupted. I suspect that the new 
parser is getting phased by the long string.
