I guess my answer is that XHTML is actually more logical and easier to work 
with. And as long as that is where the standard is moving, why not get used 
to using it? I also find there are times when the lameness of browsers 
causes compromises, which in my case includes using the border="0" 
attribute on linked images for the college site. So I suppose you couldn't 
call me a purist.<g>
