As you did not reply to the [1] email, I thought you had agreed about
using "HTML 4.01 Strict" instead of "XHTML 1.x ..".

If you do not agree, let us know your rationale.

I'm not trying to undermine your decision (although you have my rationale); you can cut'n'paste just about anything XHTML into a HTML document and it'll still be valid. It's probably less risky to "back-port" my markup than making me work in HTML 4 (I haven't used it since 2002 or something).

It is true GNU Herds does not use frames. However, we added @target to <a> to
avoid others sites to embed GNU Herds into one of _their_ frames.

Is that likely? I've not seen such a site for... I think a couple years. If they're that keen on stealing our search status, they're sure to be able to remove the @targets. It's quite a few bytes extra, in the aggregate.
