Cool! It's interesting to see what various people trying the same thing come up with.

I've only done three pages, but I'd be quite willing to work with the pmdev team to get the site's markup up-to-date.

The problem is not so much updating the PM code to use xHTML, but rather having our cake both ways: using xHTML while still allowing some facility for those on older/crappy browsers, namely Netscape 4.x.

Right now, we can have xHTML, but can't have it in such a way that it'd be both used in an xHTML-sane way (using div tags instead of tables, etc) and have it not break the current design for icky browsers.

So unless we can get everyone to voluntarily upgrade their browsers to Opera, MSIE 6 or Mozilla .9+ we need to think this through a bit :-)
