$ weblint *.[1-9].html | cut -f2 -d: | sort | uniq
 empty container element <HEAD>.
 no <TITLE> in HEAD element.

$ echo *.[1-9].html | xargs -n 1 nsgmls -s -m /usr/X11R6/lib/xemacs-20.4/etc/sgml//CATALOG /usr/X11R6/lib/xemacs-20.4/etc/sgml/html.decl 2>&1 | cut -d: -f6- | sort | uniq
 end tag for "HEAD" which is not finished
 no document type declaration; implying "<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>"

Your man2html should therefore at least reflect the title in a <title>
tag. A proper <!DOCTYPE> would be nice as well.
