Well, I agree in principle. However, I don't think it would be a good idea
to check for XHTML compliance right now, because poor Alfie (who's running
the scripts in a cron job) would be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of
errors.
I guess we should concentrate on fixing most of the outstanding issues
before switching the scripts. For example, wml is currently "optimizing"
the HTML code by removing the closing slash in e.g. <br />, thus printing
<br>.
I think this should be fixed by applying the following patch to
Makefile.common. Could someone please review this? Note that the expansion
level of 3082 is what I concluded from the wml docs; I don't know whether
Debian uses the default configuration of mp4h for the generation of the web
pages.

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, "Let there be
Light." And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
