If you can manage to get some kind of control over those CMS users, then a complete 'HTML 4.01 Strict' would be the right choice. More info... http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html

One thing to be aware of is PNG color-shifting in IE. If you try to use a non-transparent PNG with non-square edges and fill in the background color, then place it inside a region with a CSS background-color, they may not match up exactly, even with supposedly the same hex values. Even when
