Tedd, thanks for the feedback. This:

<html xmlns:ui="http://www.arsdigita.com/ui/1.0"
xmlns:bebop="http://www.arsdigita.com/bebop/1.0" lang="en">

is a relic from work done by one of our past contractors. I'm a little
fuzzy on why it can't be removed easily. The answer I get is "bigger
problems to solve first."

Can you tell me whether it causes any accessibility problems? (I'm
still trying to get speakers for my computer, so I have no way of being
sure how screen readers interact with that code.)

Cliff

Cliff:

My opinion -- it looks like a reasonable solution to the problem
described.

Question: What's with this?

<html xmlns:ui="http://www.arsdigita.com/ui/1.0"
xmlns:bebop="http://www.arsdigita.com/bebop/1.0" lang="en">

What does that have to do with your site?

Cheers,

tedd
