Hm, my old box died 2001, so five years would a downgrade...
No, http://www.vocalabs.com/ was really down yesterday, and
David fixed it immediately. Today I get "valid HTML 4.01"
with the W3C validator, and that's all what I wanted to see.
/me is only half joking.
p.s. I'm not sure which half.
Don't use UTF-8 when you don't need it. Try Latin-1. Stay
away from all hex. character references, even if the W3C is
not exactly happy with dec. character references. They are
smart, but "backwards compatibility" is their blind spot -
but you have me for "visible with any browser" issues. <eg>
In the worst case we could roll our own "legacy XHTML" DTD,
but actually a proper subset of "transitional" avoiding most
obsolete crap is good enough.
