- Mention that Right Dao and SeSe start their crawls at Wikipedia
- Refactor markup: turn unordered lists into description-lists. It
makes sense to use them in this context.

parsing rules. My staging site will be XHTML but my main site will be
HTML5, just in case of parse errors.

switching the content-type to XHTML.

More narrow screen optim for old browsers

some extra help. Now, the entire site should fit in a 150 CSS-pixel wide

zoom-out-to-match-desktop stuff that early mobile browsers did).
