Hi Dan,

One thing to note, according to both HTML and XHTML standards, an external 
script reference should still has to be written with an end tag.

You have:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/epoch_classes.js" />

Whereas it should be:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/epoch_classes.js"></script>

In my early work with dynamic XML/XSLT to produce XHTML, years ago, I assumed I 
could short-cut an external <script> tag to a single element, but discovered 
the hard way that this produces some unpredictable behavior from Browsers (like 
not working), as well as going against the 1.0 standard.

I think the rule-of-thumb for single elements and elements that require a 
separate end tag, is when that element can have optional "inner" information, 
i.e., embedded JavaScript.

<img src="" /> can be a single element, because it never has "inner" contents, 
e.g., <img>..?..</img>

Hope that helps.
