	[DJW:]  Don't do this.  Use the transitional DTD 
	instead.  If you must use Javascript, make it an
	onclick attribute of an anchor that goes to the page
	anyway, and return false, to avoid any confusion.

	Pages which have dead links unless you enable Javascript
	are becoming an increasing annoyance.  Making pages that
	don't work without Javascript is a much worse accessibility
	violation than using transitional DTDs.
