Actually it would Steve. Anyone who still practices key-word stuffing at
the bottom of a page is not only a black-hat SEO-er, but also horribly
out-of-date. Content stuffed at the bottom of a page with little or no
semantic mark-up is going to get next to no search engine "weighting" and
can even receive an SEO penalty.

This reinforces my previous suggestion that I think this was done innocently
rather than for SEO/false accessibility purposes. They could probably use a
good Web Manager to run their site ;]
