After years and years of tolerating it, I finally fixed an issue with how the Flutterby formatter handles <br> tags. Actually, not so much how it handles it as with how modern browsers handle </br> tags.
Anyway, in the process I willy-nilly changed the doctype. Holler if you see anything stupid, or if I regressed utf-8 handling again, or something.

You have a duplicate doctype on the main page, and on this page, you have an XML tag before the doctype, which I don't think is allowed for HTML5 (which is what the doctype is specifying).

Thank you.
(All of this is also reminding me that the modern "explore the dom" tools don't have a lot to do with the HTML, and some of the parsing transforms are non-obvious.)
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
