   David: Computer Weekly couple of weeks ago ran article saying that
   people should learn XHTML and pointing to the W3C site
   ... ie. move away from HTML
   ... CW is a UK magazine with v wide circulation
   ... interesting that they are promoting w3c site for learning

   arose about identifying audience
   ... DC mentioned that should be careful about trusting HTTP request
   language and referred to i18n material

   RI: IE7 won't support the styling used in our article template -
   though there should be a workaround
   ... we can use until they can fix it
   ... lots of translations coming through at the moment
   ... also new php based article template available - particularly
   helpful translation mgt
