Did you follow the BAD_HTML_USE_TRACE advice?
I assume not, otherwise you wouldn't ask "What's wrong?"...
See also the top of CHANGES.new about that.
Having the <FORM> start tag before the <HEAD> is pretty sick...
Another thing to tweak the SortaSGML parsing for, I guess.
Meanwhile, try the TagSoup parsing mode (^V).
While you are experimenting with forms, you can try some testing:
change the FORM start to <FORM ACTION="mailto:address@hidden";
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">, and see whether the mail you'll receive is
readable...
