(For new pages) I'd rather write valid Strict, then maybe toss in a
target "_blank" if the client absolutely insisted (and I could not make
hir understand) than to write Transitional. It is for updating existing
legacy pages where you don't have the time to remove all the old
presentational stuff.

I'll letcha get away with one error for a "_blank" <g>
