Hi Willy,
well, we all know that strict is a LOT of work to be done (since it is
limitting some elements to be used), but it will make the site more
browser-friendly, so let's try to get used to it and work our pages so
that it will be valid by W3C specification
I doubt that all people responsible for OOo sites have the time to
change the pages in their responsibility to STRICT.
One other point. Unless the CN requirements have changed, it was always
required that the pages submitted were NOT to include DOCTYPE headers. If
they were included (that is, if you wrote a complete HTML page complete with
DOCTYPE, SC ignored it totally.
So, if that is unchanged, it really doesn't matter what DOCTYPE you put in
your headers, the final page, once it is assembled for display, will be
whatever the CollabNet people have specified. If they say XHTML 1.0 Strict,
that's what it will be.
I even doubt that
all of them have the knowledge (which is no offense, just a matter of
fact).
Well, I always run my code through Tidy before I publish, with the "-m" switch
which causes Tidy to actually modify the code to make it valid. ($ tidy -m
-asxhtml <filename>".
Could be :-)
But if You ment the pages of http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/
Take a little look at:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdistribution.openoffice.org%2Fcdrom%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=XHTML+1.0+Strict

Also, for some (a lot of) projects there is no single person
responsible for the whole site, but multiple people with the "Content
Developer" role, which allows you to change site content.
Requiring all those people to create only STRICT content is a really
hard, and IMO unrealistic, requirement. The more since "more
browser-friendly" alone is not really a convincing argument for that
amount of time to invest, sorry.
Ciao
