OK, so it turns out that the spurious pre in the first blog post is due to a spurious backquote in import.sql: insert into blogentry (blog_name, id, title, excerpt, body, date) values ('JBoss Seam Blog', 'seamtext', 'Introducing Seam Text', ...+'<table style="border:1px solid blue;"><tr><td>Foo</td><td>Bar</td></tr></table>`', '2007-01-18 4:00') Take out that final backquote, and the bad pre tag vanishes. So the question is, should SeamText be smart enough to close dangling elements? And is it a bug that the main index.xhtml page isn't being served as application/xhtml+xml under Firefox?
