Hi,

I wanted to convert my html 4.0 transitional document to valid xml.
All I need to do so is add an extra <?xml ...?> tag. And the appropriate
ending tags. e.g

<hr> 
to 
<hr />   ( <hr/> won't work on netscape )

so far, so good, and the document still validates. Except for my
style-sheet:
<head>
  <link ref="stylesheet" href="/~mage/personal.css" type="text/css" />
</head>

What is so different about the <link>  tag that i can't use the / ???

(Mails please CC to me, I am not on the list)
