Great article.. I’m a little sad that there are not more comments! I would be interested to see if these suggestions have changed since 2006 :)

I’m sorry if this is off-topic, but I need some feedback. Do you think extended auto warranties a good deal?
Thanks in advance for your input.

I was very interested to read your suggestion to choosing a Transitional doctype in scenarios when you know the site is going to be handed off to a client. In the recent discussion in the blogosphere about doctype, the mantra has been “choose xhtml or html – it doesn’t matter – just make your doctype strict”. However, I think your Transitional XHTML suggestion makes perfect sense for scenarios where it cannot be guaranteed that good care will be taken of a website’s markup once the original (and standards aware) developer relinquishes control. Great article.
