Hi Christopher,

thank you so much for your reply. It was my suspicion things are 'off' 
here a little...
I hope the notes about HTML 5 being pre released will add some wood to 
the fire of thoughts to make Typo3 compliant for HTML instead of 
primarily XHTML.

I will take a peek at the provided links. I think most of them I have 
seen already.
