I’d rather see the recommendation to use the right DTD for the right job, without any preference. The HTML 4 Strict DTD for example doesn’t allow the start attribute for <ol> (an often discussed and never resolved bug). It is therefore useless for many kinds of documents or environments. I recommend not to recommend anything. Thomas -- Redaktion, Druck- und Webdesign http://toscho.de · 0160/1764727 Twitter: @toscho
