It is easy to achieve and reliable. We've discussed XHTML doctypes and the issues at length on the list recently so no point going over that. I did a quick site validation forcing character encoding (also missing) and setting it to HTML 4.01: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.edna.edu.au%2Fedna%2Fpage 1.html&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&doctype=HTML+4.01+Transitiona l While the errors look daunting, there is a lot of global replacing that could solve a chunk of this stuff.
