A good point from Gerv, but I do still want to link to Mozilla. I'll
change the button I'm using to say "Best standards compliance" or
something of the sort - that's valid from the tests I've seen. I'll also
check with my pages with the validator to make sure I'm not causing any
problems with bad markup.
