The code generates a fieldset tag to group links by category. The use of a fieldset tag for purposes of presentation causes the resulting page to fail WCAG 2.0 validation. According to the W3C standard, the fieldset tag is only to be used for grouping form controls.

Total Validator complained with a reference to the specific WCAG 2.0 section on this topic. If I remember correctly, it was legal in WCAG 1.0.
