[Zope] conformance to W3C Recommendations and other standards

[danielle.d-avout]

It will not cost anything to correct the spelling mistake in the Doctype
(in the meantime why not change to html.4.1)
BUT
if W3C cannot generate system identifier for general entity "origin_url"
because of the use of & instead of & ,
why every browser on earth should? I am unfortunately entitled to think the
opposite... as at least one,  mine ( IE6 SP1 under XP) will hang on a page
generated by Plone if  I don't replace the faulty &
The fact that I'm not alone  (there are clients  of Hotmail and Msn
complaining to name a few)  lets me "hope" it will have soon a SP2
