No, I took this high-profile opportunity to geek out and fix the HTML validation down to the character encoding level, in case anyone checked. Then I accidentally committed a slightly broken version, and it took the entire site down. Then, in my panic, my darcs-fu failed me, and I couldn't get the patches to unpull properly.

Moral: even someone who looks great on paper can do something unbelievably stupid. (At least I wasn't charging anyone $100/hr. for it!)
