Yes, FrontPage seems to work fine with HTML generated by hand or by other 
HTML editors.  It cleans up anything it thinks is completely broken.  It 
also shows me broken links, spelling errors, and various other problems 
with  files from other sources.  So I don't have any problem with people 
hand generating HTML; it is just that I don't want to have to do that 
myself.
