Yup, fixed in pmwiki-0.5.3.  Thanks again for finding this.  I really
haven't had a good opportunity to check every script and page for valid 
XHTML output and I wish I had a good automated way of doing that.  
In the meantime, I'm just fixing XHTML errors as I find them or they're
pointed out to me.

I'm guessing you're referring to the fact that the search results
page doesn't use $PageHeaderFmt and $PageFooterFmt.  This is by design,
because the search results page isn't really a wiki page and so some 
things that appear in the headers and footers ("Edit Page") might not 
make sense for the results page.  It's only since pmwiki-0.4.23
that the search results page has been associated with wiki page names--
it used to be just .../pmwiki/pmwiki.php?action=search&text=... .

However, I think you can redefine the search output to use the modified
headers in local.php...just do (in local.php)

    $PageSearchFmt = array(&$PageHeaderFmt,
      "Searching for <em>\$Needle</em>:<p /><dl>\$MatchList</dl>
        <p />\$MatchCount pages found out of \$MatchSearched pages searched.",
      &$PageFooterFmt);

and the search results should use the appropriate headers/footers.  Let
me know if this works, and if so I can add it to the cookbook.
