As an aside to this, since you mentioned strict, I've had some difficulty
converting any document that uses numbered lists to HTML 4.01 (strict) due
to the fact that strict disallows the value attribute to <li>, thereby
making it impossible to convert something like:

| INSTALLATION
| 
|   1. Unpack.
| 
|   2. Compile.
| 
|   3. Install.
| 
| TESTING
| 
|   4. Test.

without using style sheets or switching the list to a <dl>, which just
seems wrong (and doesn't render as intended).  This strikes me as a
particularly dim decision by W3C, and all of my generated HTML therefore
uses the transitional DTD.

This is specifically relevant to POD converters, since the above sort of
split list is common and easy to do in POD.
