Switch to XHTML5 markup
...
The site now has polygot markup and can handle both XHTML5 and HTML5
parsing rules. My staging site will be XHTML but my main site will be
HTML5, just in case of parse errors.
If other tools (e.g. LightHouse) end up supporting XHTML5, I'll consider
switching the content-type to XHTML.

More CSS containment, adopt shortcodes
...
- Adopt more shortcodes in older posts.
- Contain figures, excluding images. Slightly decreases paint times.
- Fix spacing issues for nested articles.
- Always enable vertical scrollbar, since pretty much all pages are
taller than the viewport. Eliminates a layout shift.
- Moar microdata
- Set fixed updated dates for some posts so they don't get new
date-updated values until I actually change the content significantly

More narrow screen optim for old browsers

Some old browser engines don't fully support hyphenation, so they need
some extra help. Now, the entire site should fit in a 150 CSS-pixel wide
viewport.
Clean up some link text too so the text alone is more useful.

Make all pages look good in 150px viewports

All pages except bookmarks can now fit on your smartwatch without any
adjustments, so we can disable the auto-zoom-out-to-match-mobile
wizardry that watch browsers do (comparable to the
zoom-out-to-match-desktop stuff that early mobile browsers did).
Yay.
