Paul,
To switch to standards compliant mode, you must have a full and complete
doctype but it does NOT have to be XHTML at all.
Hope could just have easily changed from an incomplete HTML4.01 Transitional
doctype to a complete version. This is not a criticism of Hope, as she may

Thanks, Russ! I've fixed the doctype on the real page and it works

The page is on a site with a non-web standards design that I've "inherited".
It's due for a revamp in a couple of months when I plan to introduce

You have an incomplete doctype which makes browsers go into quicks mode and
then font size inheritance is ignored inside a table.
