So I am creating a vigorously XHTML-Strict compliant layout in template we are providing to a client who is very standards minded. A very good thing, really.
When you validate your XHTML using any of the sites dedicated to that, they all want to know it is an XML file and as such, also would love to know what encoding you are using.
To solve the aforementioned issue, a normal person would add the line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
If you do that, a lot of your layout in Internet Explorer 6, will be messed up. Font sizes will be ignored, layout will be ugly, and you will start looking and looking, pulling your hair.
Makes sense, right? No.
At least the beast is aware of it.
