 Point taken, but switching to HTML 4.01 surely would.

 I understand your points about XHTML but I do not agree that it is purely
 political. The article I referenced points out some very valid reasons why
 serving XHTML up as text/html is a Bad Thing.

 In any case, if you are of the opinion that The choice to use XHTML is
 political and not technical do you see anything wrong with using HTML 4.01
 as an alternative.

 This would definitely help ease any buggy template engine output.

 I am unwilling to submit any further comments RE specific errors in your
 documents. This would be a mammoth process and one which I would feel to
 be a futile effort on my part.

 Perhaps someone on the dev team who has an understanding of the template
 engine should experiment with validating pages to see if she/he can
 identify any common errors.
