Re: POE site not displayed correctly under IE7

Thanks for the pointers.  I've updated the templates & header  
generation code to pass validator.w3.org for the front page.  It's a  
wiki without a test suite, so I can't guarantee every page will  
validate.  In fact, I strongly suspect that many pages will fail.   
Feel free to patch pages with bad content.  There's a login/signup  
link at the bottom, and it'll enable an edit link when you do.

I know some of the cookbook examples are too wide for the content  
column.  I'm going to try to make the content column stretch to  
accommodate wide content.
