i haven't had much time lately to devote to perlmonks, and i've been not only impressed with the recent pace and scope of changes, but inspired by it. i'm happy to see the many new css classes, and happy to see that the css is valid as per the w3c css validator.

i'd like to see the same for the html markup, which doesn't validate to any x?html variant. the markup is defined as html 4.0 transitional, but there are some xhtml-style tags used throughout. i'd like to apply patches to help make this site validate, but before i start making changes, i'd like to confirm the target doctype. personally, i'd prefer aiming for xhtml, but if the decision is to stay with html 4.0 transitional, i'll aim for that.

anyone?
