Maybe, but when working with an existing document that probably has syntax errors, it's probably best to start from declaring it as HTML 4.01 Transitional and finding and fixing the errors. Then you may, if you wish, proceed to making it stricter, HTML 4.01 Strict conformant. The point is that old documents may contains lots of presentational markup, which will create lots of error messages when validating against HTML 4.01 Strict (because such markup does not belong to Strict), and this may make the situation both depressing and pragmatically difficult. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
