Wow! That's really cool.

Makes me really want to see the tool expanded so you can actually design nice styles this way too!

Thanks for the pointer.

That's true. I always develop in strict mode. If you are not using strict, you should not have the <?xml> link. Kevin

I have always read that when you have the line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
before the doctype line,  you will cause Internet Explorer to switch to
"Quirks" mode. This link has a somewhat dry discussion about that that
means.

http://www.w3.org/International/articles/serving-xhtml/

To me, it means that if you are trying to develop CSS based pages for
"standards compliant" browsers you need to keep the browsers in "Strict" or
standards compliant mode. Although the XML line does not bother other
browsers, it does take IE out of standards mode.

Having this right at first makes it TONS easier to make your pages cross
browser compatible.

Just a thought....
