On the topic of XHTML1.1 Strict, I ran into some problems with getting 
included CSS and Javascript to work when in Strict mode.  I didn't have time 
to completely resolve it, and dropped back to Transitional to make my site work.

I did do some research trying to find the problem and in the process found a 
good article on why XHTML1.1 Strict may not really be all that great a thing 
-- or least, what a lot of the potential problems are. So just as a For Your 
Information on that topic, see this article *and* the follow-up comments:
