Not going to display the snippets of HTML that you get from daft internet personality/intelligence/etc. tests any more. My site claims to be valid XMTHL Strict, and I like that (I've even been hacking plugins to preserve that). Although I used to like those daft test certificates (going off them now anyway), I'm not going to give up my validation state for their sake, nor am I prepared to spend hours turning someone's barely-valid HTML 4 into XHTML Strict.
Had it been Transitional, I might have got away with it, but since I've always wanted to use Strict and it now seems that I am, no.

Let's get something straight. I'm not going to review new things. I very rarely get there in time to experience things while they're new, so I'm going to buck the trend [not very far, admittedly] and rather than review things that you won't already have seen/heard/read, I'll review the things you have.
All the better for you to dispute my opinions.
So, Dogma (spoilers follow)

Well, a clean installation of Windows later, and my computer boots again, but now has far less junk on it.
OK, just as much junk, since I installed to a new disk rather than formatting the old one, but most of it just got uninstalled by a registry wipe, so I have no idea how long that ACID trial has left to run. Or indeed whether it'll start a new 30 days when I reinstall it, or whether some lofty internet authority will tell it that its number is up, and that I'm not to do any more work on my piece.
We shall see. But not today. I need to get back to the kind of time wasting that'll make my holiday seem less like ... Oh, I don't know what holiday is supposed to feel like any more.

Razorhead has shown us the way to Lulu.com, an internet printer (call them a publisher if you like: the grounds on which they claim not to be are a bit unstable) who will make your books and things available as eBooks and/or print-on-demand. To do so on their own website is free, or for a relatively small fee they will get the book an ISBN number and make it available through Amazon.
Razorhead seems inspired, the Destructor is thinking of dusting off his novel, and it's certainly a very interesting scheme.
So, what does anyone else think?
