[thelist] XHTML and Netscape 6

At the moment the design is not broken in Mozilla 1.1 . Actually, comparing
it to IE6, I can find only very minor differences.

More in general: if doctypes give you trouble, just remove them. Nothing bad
will happen.

The problem with doctypes is that every browser vendors (IE Win, IE Mac and
Mozilla) has thought up its own version of 'doctype switching' and 'strict
rendering'. Of course these versions are completely incompatible, so the
doctype that works in one browser will break the other. Therefore my general
advice is not to use doctypes.
