BTW: why end the base href with '/>', and not simply '>'?

This is for XML and I don't know if the same thing is true for HTML 4, but I guess it is.

No, it's only true for XHTML, because XHTML is "A Reformulation of HTML 4 in XML 1.0" (http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/)

Funny that the w3c validator doesn't like it.

The w3c HTML validator also checks XHTML (since June _2000_). But maybe Zope doesn't mark the HTML as being XHTML (by inserting the right "<!DOCTYPE ..." at the beginning)? Zope 2.3.2 doesn't do that by itself. Jan could try to insert it manually, and check if the validator still complains. Hon.
