From: Ronx on
The conditional comment

<![if pub11]>
means that to display anything between that and the following <![endif]> the
user must have Publisher v 11 installed - this is publisher 2003. It is
possible that the page is ONLY viewable in Publisher itself (and any browser
that does not understand conditional comments, such as FireFox) - I don't
use Publisher or Word to build web pages, the closest I have to this is at
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/office-compare/ which uses Word and
Publisher to rebuild one of my pages.
I agree, the OP's page has very clean code for a Publisher created site -
but Publisher V 11 is still required to view it.

Removing those conditional comments makes the page visible in IE.

<style> is not like this
it like this <style type="text/css">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" /> is not like this

it like this <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">

But would either cause a problem ?

I have used <style> and it works because <style type="text/css"> is assumed
by most browsers

Closing of tags (/>) is used in XHTML, but it is accepted in most browsers.

The more likely cause is this conditional comment (line 85):
<![if pub11]>

This tag is produced when using Publisher to create HTML. Simply removing it
makes quite a difference

You need to use FrontPage for or editor and not all Templates are the same,
some are xml and some HTML!
you can call XML File a HTML but it will not work as a HTML File
