That's a nice and fair enough answer. I just cannot abide
anything lowly and snivelling, which is not the case, as you
explain, in yours. <g>

Let me back up my point with a lowly and snivelling argument by
authority by an authority:

"The expert advice is to use HTML 4.01, but you can of course use
technobabble-XHTML _if_ you are careful enough to follow
guidelines that effectively make it HTML 4.01 with pointless
kludges."

and

"In practical terms, XHTML is pointless as a delivery format of
WWW documents for the time being. It's just an exercise in
futility, though some day things might change, in some direction."

I drink beer in order to be seen to drink it and so lessen the
chances of deportation (Australia is hard on aliens). For stress,
I prefer a good shot of bourbon.
