For the moment, so other people can appreciate your work, I've put a
copy on my server:
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Devtools/signals.html


I removed a line at the top, with which it wouldn't serve from a
Web server at all:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

And it needed a DOCTYPE declaration.  So, I added one:

  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

(You seem to have used Amaya as your HTML authoring environment.  I
haven't used that in a long time, but please be aware that it seems to
get HTML headers very wrong.)

With that change, your document passes http://validator.w3.org/ .
It does not pass the W3C CSS validator,
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ , erroring out on the 'Beige' in 


  div.dig {
      background-color: Beige;
      margin-top: 1em;
      margin-bottom: 1em;
     }

...and issuing two warnings about invalid treatment of whitespace.




I would appreciate it if you would say (here is fine) that you waive
GFDL version 1.3's requirement (which, FYI, is licence item 4H) to
include a full, unmodified copy of the full GFDL.  Until you do that, I
am technically violating your copyright.

This wording works for me:

'Copyright owner waives GNU Free Documentation License's obligation to
include a copy of the licence text if redistributing the covered work or
derivatives thereof.'

Please.
