[snip] I might be inclined to ascribe slightly more weight to your argument, Shlomi, if your own site (cited at the bottom of your message) visit my blog: http://www.webcssdesign.34sp.com/ was valid (X)HTML. But it isn't. Nor does it follow the very precepts that you set out to convince us are valid : it contains long class names : "postentry", "postmeta", "posttitle", multiple (redundant) spaces : "</a> </p>", absolute URLs wasting /reams/ of characters : href="http://www.webcssdesign.34sp.com/2006/06/working_with_standard_html.html#respond" and so on. If you genuinely believe that every byte counts (which I don't : I believe that layout and readability matter /far/ more) -- then why not practise what you preach ? Philip Taylor
