How difficult is it to jump to strict from transitional doctypes?
Is it a whole other ballgame or just a matter of dotting your t's and
crossing your i's?
HTML 4 strict is really just dotting and crossing. for XHTML 1.0
transitional to XHTML 1.0 strict you should really know what you're
doing in terms of separating content from presentation, as many
presentational attributes that transitional still lets you get away with
are now removed from the DTD. and once you go from XHTML 1.0 strict to
1.1 (yes, yes, changing mime type and all that) there are a few more
things to look out for (e.g. more attributes removed, having to ensure
that form widgets are also enclosed in a block level element and not
just in a <form>, not being allowed any character entities apart from
the basic & < > " and &apo; - so things like © for
instance will not be valid).
