|The W3C validator will, AFAIK, reject everything (apart from comments)
|*unless* you have a !DOCTYPE tag at the start to tell it what kind of
|document it's supposed to be validating.
|
|This !DOCTYPE is the one I usually use, HTML 4.0:
|--
|<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
|--
|The !DOCTYPE tag should go *before* the HTML tag.
|
'---------------------------

All of the ADA documents use...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Strict//EN">

Is that wrong then?
