There's no such thing as not viewable in FF remotely and viewable in
FF locally. Either FF supports it or it does not.
There is a set of standard. The page is not visible because is not
standard compliant.
Probably wget is broken and does some mangling, but that does not
change the fact that the page is not compliant.

I don't want to shoot anybody and the site is great, but these kind of
problems can be avoided/fixed by means of using standards.
Please mark "pass validator.w3c.org" on the todo list.
