I think I've got it.  And it actually does look like a bug in the HTML.
An <iframe> tag is opened within the document head, then the head is
closed, but the <iframe> is still open!  The <iframe> tag doesn't close
until after the head is closed!  Not only that, but the <body> tag is
within the <iframe>!

This is copies from the source:

<iframe name="Header" height=125 >
</head>
<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" link="#0000EF" vlink="#55188A"
alink="#FF0000">
<center>
<img SRC="faq-page-title-2.jpg" height=150 width=512></iframe>
</center>

It should probably look more like this:

<iframe name="Header" height=125 >
<center>
<img SRC="faq-page-title-2.jpg" height=150 width=512>
</center>
</iframe>
</head>
<body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" link="#0000EF" vlink="#55188A"
alink="#FF0000">

noah
