Yes, understood, I know what's involved in making a document XHTML
complient. What's big, however, is the scope of such a change. We're
talking about, at a rough count (ls -laR | grep -c html) 455 documents
that would need to be converted and validated. This is not a small
undertaking.

Ja. Agreed. Just want to make sure that we know what we're getting into,
and that there are people willing to put in the work. I tend to have
time in cycles lately. I've been in an "off" mode the last two weeks for
a variety of reasons. And although some folks like Joshua seem to have
unlimited time to produce quality work, most of us are mortal.

And, thanks for your concern, but the little one is still very sick, and
I seem to be getting it too. Bah.
