Change host. I can't imagine why they do / did this. I can't imagine
why it should affect the DNS either. There is no way I would ever use
a host that did this sort of mangling to my source.

It's obsolete, although not formally deprecated. id is a good
replacement for it, and works with all browsers of current interest.
Life is easier if you just use id on existing elements (as you're
already doing in many locations), there's no drawback to doing so
(although someone will undoubtedly post one in a moment).

Because it just isn't XHTML (Your posting claimed it was, your HTTP &
HTML disagree. Maybe your host has fiddled with that too?).
Because it's not a good idea to use XHTML, except in some pretty small
contexts.
Because if you're asking, it's not a good idea for you (many, many
messages passim).

They should, they haven't, QED.

Then your validator is broken. Your code certainly is.
It doesn't even look like markup that was broken by any conceivable
automatic process that your host might be doing to it.

Quite possibly. I think it's broken outside of this though.
