Sorry, my mistake. That should be:
.main { padding-top: 1.0em; }
I also added
.pinmenu { padding : 0.5em }
which makes it look nicer.

Then probably they forbidden people from overriding it. So, you'll need
access to the main page.

Well XHTML 1.0 is essentially HTML 4.01 only modelled around an XML
foundation. See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#diffs
As being XML it can be more easily parsed and processed, and there are
also some common mistakes that can be prevented using its stricter syntax.
Thus, I like it better. There is a slight possibility that XHTML will not
be understood correctly by older browsers, but this is the case for any
page with CSS, anyhow.
Both XHTML 1.0 and HTML 4.01 come in Strict and Transitional modes.
Transitional has more visual HTML attributes available. I use XHTML 1.0
Strict for all my sites.
