Hi Dave, *,

probably one of my last messages on the list since I'll be gone with
the forwarder.. (so assume I will not read replies tomorrow/whenever
the switch is flipped)

Well sort of. If you look at the actual document on the site
you will probably find it contains an XHTML doctype even now.

Old OOo pages were xhtml transitional, that is correct. And at least
the www.openoffice.org and de.openoffice.org pages were fully valid
(according to the w3c validator)

CollabNet Enterprise Edition (that was used before Kenai, and after
SourceCast (the old name of older version of CollabNet Enterprise
Edition that was used even earlier) did as well ignore the doctype and
other meta-tags, but merged title and meta tags into the overall
templating system.
So all pages were delivered as xhtml - of course that didn't make them
valid, but that means that they worked for the users and editors with
that doctype.

[...]
I think that ssi.mdtext should add a line like:

doctype:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>

Please don't turn back the wheel of time. If you want to make a
unification, then I suggest you either user xhtml transitional, or
make the step to html5 right away as default.

+1

I've tried hard to make at least the download webpages W3C conform (error and warning free) with xhtml doctype.

Unfortunately, after the migration to Apache this is no longer visible:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

New game, new work. ;-)

So, would be great to keep the more modern direction.
