Steve,

several web browsers render style sheets differently when the global DTD link is absent from the doc type of the page. To rule out any doc type ambiguity I would argue to always include the global DTD reference. Then modify the style sheet to get the look you want.

By global reference I mean http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd instead of a relative path like loose.dtd which is sometimes used.

The problem is that the example I gave set the border width to 1 but the result when loose.dtd is playing is (on the browsers I've tried) much thicker than 1px. How do I get a thin border and still ref loose.dtd?
