22.4 Supplying values for
the <head> element
DITA2Go normally provides
a header that indicates compliance with W3C’s HTML 4 specification.
The default header includes a “transitional” qualifier that
permits use of some formatting code that in HTML 4 is deprecated in favor
of CSS. Unfortunately, browsers have not quite managed yet to implement
CSS well enough so that you can depend on CSS alone; not even CSS1, let
alone CSS2. So “strict” compliance has to wait.
