 * This is only happening on pages that use jcolumns, so either I’m not understanding
   something or something’s broken. I get many variations on this W3C validation
   error:
 * > **document type does not allow element “h2” here; missing one of “object”, “
   > applet”, “map”, “iframe”, “button”, “ins”, “del” start-tag**
   > The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you’ve
   > placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed
   > there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need 
   > a containing element, or possibly that you’ve forgotten to close a previous
   > element.
   > One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-
   > level element (such as “p” or “table”) inside an inline element (such as “a”,“
   > span”, or “font”).
