[thelist] XHTML 1.0 Strict -no target attribute allowed?

[Courtenay]

that's an excellent link, thanks so much!  I'm going to do it that way
myself in the future,.

Just one thing---it's much cooler (IMO) to do
  for (i in whatever)

rather than
  for (i=0;; blah blah)

But then I think LISP is cool, too,.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't do it the shorter way?
