Sorry. Those tags won't validate under XHTML Strict. Whether they work or 
not is another matter entirely, but the document won't be considered valid 
Strict XHTML.

Welp, ultimately, I was saving my butt. I don't know every single 
difference between Transitional and Strict, but I know that *one* 
difference was the pure and exact separation of design and content. The "oh 
so much more" was to make sure that no one would say "but hey! that's not 
all! Strict also does..." <g>...

I've been dealing with encoding an awful lot with my AmphetaDesk program 
(disobey.com/amphetadesk/). If an XML document does NOT have an encoding, 
it is *supposed* to be read in as UTF-8. Correct me if I'm wrong however, 
as the whole encoding issue drives me bonkers.
