Yeah, if there's one thing I've learned about web design, it's that retrofitting standards-compliance is next to impossible. The only way to do it without getting grey hair is to do it from scratch. Can certainly understand you not wanting to do that with the number of pages you have :)

Frankly I wouldn't bother. Commit to making your new pages validate if you like, but save the fixing of old ones for a very very rainy day.

The script doesn't need a doctype though - would really appreciate you using it instead of the one that doesn't work on my browser :)

I have certain pages where I know they should validate, the ones that I rewrite a lot (like the main front page)

I just fixed html401 validation for vexen/index.html, I needed to set the encoding to "windows-1252", which I've now set in the HTML, it was set to ISO-something (std western one), but apparently that was wrong. (I guessed a dozen or so different likely-looking ones until it accepted it!)
