of this newsgroup and of comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html.

I did a quick review (I'll get more in depth later, but thought it polite to reply promptly), and can see that my efforts would better spent getting all my documents from HTML 4 transitional to strict.

What a refreshing change! A poster who lurks first, writes clearly, and responds politely! I was about to give up hope...

A well-behaved gentleman like yourself would be welcome in most any technical discussion you'd care to contribute to. You might also want to visit/lurk/participate at c.i.w.a.html, if you're not already.

One of the multitude of articles and discussions regarding XHTML is sitting in my bookmarks (from 2005): http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200501/the_perils_of_using_xhtml_properly/
(which URL which probably wrap). That article comes from a different direction, but touches on some of the issues to consider. Be sure to read through the comments.

I haven't had need to touch XHTML so I stay with HTML 4.01 strict.
