I have been running tests on various doctypes and
found something interesting.
I set up a test page using this doctype...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0 Strict Level 1//EN">
....and put this in the head:
<link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="http://www.example.com/test.css">
The page failed the W3C validator. Changing the above to...
<link rel="stylesheet " href="http://www.example.com/test.css">
....allowed the page to validate.
I already tell the browser what type of document test.css
is in my .htaccess file:
AddType 'text/css; charset=US-ASCII' .css
AddCharset US-ASCII .css
AddLanguage en-US .css
I repeated the test with HTML 4.01 strict and XHTML 1.1
pages (making the other changes needed) and it still validated.
Other than the usual Internet Explorer choking on XHTML 1.1
served as application/xhtml+xml, the HTML 2.0, HTML 4.01 strict
and the XHTML 1.1 test pages are all following the directives
in the CSS file just fine. The only quirk I found was that the
W3C CSS Validator couldn't find the CSS from the HTML/XHTML
file (but it validated when I pointed it at the CSS file).
Is there any good reason why that type="text/css" is found
in every example of using an extenal CSS that I can find?

A good newsreader has the option to show or not show sigs when
displaying posts.
I wouldn't say that is top-of-pops feature which makes a newsreader
good. Especially if most people follow the etiquette of having sig
of no more than 4 lines.

You've got it wrong there. The sig is only stripped out when replying.

I take it that English is not your first language, or that you are
lacking in reading skills. The phrase "Usenet Standards" implies
an RFC or other official document. The phrase "Usenet has standards"
implies a long tradition of clueful Usenet users doing something the
same way and thus creating a de-facto standard.
That being said, Section 4.3 of RFC 3676 documents the
"-- " separator and Page 4 of RFC 1855 documents the
4-line McQuary limit.
And, of course, the The alt.fan.warlord FAQ is the authority
on all things .SIGish... (search on "4 LINES, THE NET STANDARD.") http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/afw/#afwfaq
Also see: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/M/McQuary-limit.html http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/signatur.html http://mailformat.dan.info/trailers/sigblocks.html http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3676#section-4.3 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt
And before anyone starts the usual bleating about the above
documents not saying that the 4-line McQuary limit is a
requirement, please note that nothing concerning the content
Usenet posyts is required or forbidden. There is no central
governing agency over Usenet, and as such, one can only offer
friendly suggestions or strongly worded suggestions towards
an ideal of compliance. There are no .sig police to run
to if someone wants to go against the rules.
