HI James,

As the xhtml 1.0 specificatios apply no extension to the html 4.01 specs  
but rather some restriction, all xhtml 1.0 docs are supposed to comply 
to html 4.01 as well, so there's no need to apply this change 
immediately.

I think the best way to proceed is first to apply the four changes a 
through d, then pass a representative selection of thus built files 
through the w3c validator http://validator.w3.org/file-upload.html (or 
some other program)... (specify an xhtml 1.0 doctype input manually) and 
if then there are no errors, you can change the doctype declaration.

The full doctype declaration would be :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>

but the first line should do... remark the lowercase "html"

(Are there any pages on the debian web site which need the 
"transitional" doctype ? I think they all are quite close to the 
"strict" brand)

Cu

Norbert
