	XHTML is the XML formulation, and replacement of, HTML.
	It imposes some strict rules about nesting, always having
	closing tags, and so on.  The majority of what I've changed
	is at the tag level - not actual content.  The API was
	by far the most time consuming (it is very large)

	We could propose this as the next major milestone.
	While there are still bugs to be resolved, the other
	major user requirement (apart from a stable library)
	is updated and accurate documentation.  I'd be willing
	to tackle a section or two over the next few months.

	I'll roll the changes into CVS and post again once it
	is live.
