Although the HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE is nice -- a classic even -- you've
got to think about the reason *why* it's recommended.

Validating against strict is recommended precisely *because* it doesn't
allow you to use <font>, <center> and all kinds of crap. But if you're
going to insist on using that crap (and <iframe> is included here!) then
you're going to have to abandon strict.
