You are absolutetly right, but in this case it might be a problem, since the
oldstyle HTML is a result of the fact that Chris is using the GREEN
template, which is a static template from the early days of TYPO3.
IMHO it would be wiser to drop this template and rebuild the site from
scratch. This way it would be
a) modern and valid XHTML code
b) less problems due to incompatibilities between the original GREEN
template and the desired result
c) you already named it: _much_ simpler debugging

Could this be an option, Chris?
I will be able to help with any problems you might run into but I won't even
touch one of the current static templates, since this would be just a waste
of time with just an average result if you are lucky.

Maybe it's a good idea if someone of the TYPO3 cracks in the US (and I know
there are some) will offer something like a "TYPO3 basics workshop".
I would do it but I don't think many of the newbies would like to pay
additional flight tickets and a hotel room ;-)
