Looks like I’m not the only person “switching” back to HTML 4.01. Here’s why I did it.

I’ve been tinkering with the CSS to try to get it to work in IE/Windows. With the help of friendly people from the css-discuss list I should have it working now. People on Windows, what do you think ? I won’t see what it looks like until Tuesday, or maybe after the new year.
