At some point I believe that this templates were validated. I remember 
somebody talking about that here in the -devel (or was it -users) list.
I think is time to move on to "4.01 Strict" and do some of those strange 
things that look like XML but are actually somewhere in the gray area 
(XHTML?). For instance, the infamous: < br /> . And similar tags.

I also play a lot with the validator, but if something looks good on 
Mozilla, I don't even bother to check it. IE guys are out of luck :-) The 
good thing is that Mozilla does "the right thing" most of the time (except 
for those < blink > tags and other crap people tend to use in other pages, 
not us here in phpslash :-) ).

The right thing to do is to pull the phpslash-dev module from CVS and play 
with it and submit patches -- or totally new skins from phpslash-skin 
module.

Just my .02 contrib...


P.D. #phpslash on irc.freenode.net is always open for comment. Joe and 
others, including myself, regularly hang on that channel.
