The pages were not compatible with HTML 3.2.   I ran sp with the
latest HTML 3.2 DTD and fixed the problems that were identified.

My goal was to bring the files up to HTML 3.2 standards.  Tab is not
a valid HTML 3.2 tag.  So to get the files to verify using the DTD,
I needed to remove the tabs.  I really needed to remove the nbsp, but
because it was more likely to cause major visual differences, I didn't.

Okay - as I said, if I misspelled anything, then fix it.  Or forget
the change.  You folk are the 'keeper' of the source; you are going to
ignore what ever you don't want to use anyways.
