Thanks John.  I've had a bit of a poke at your dev server and it looks
like you've taken the bull by the horns and are gradually working
through upgrading the HTML markup to XHTML.  No mean feat I'm sure!  The
HTML being emitted from SKS 1.1.1 seems to validate as HTML 3.2, so a
quicker resolution may be simply to escape the ampersands in generated
hyperlinks (&amp;) and head each page with a 3.2 DTD header.

  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">

Of course, if you have the time to work through and get all of the
generated HTML validating as XHTML 1.0 that would be great.  As long as
each generated HTML document begins with a DTD, and the document
conforms to that, I think the we can declare we've fixed the problem.
