Microdata: fix relative urls, add a11y metadata
- Add a11y metadata to transcribed images to communicate the presence of
  a transcript
- Fix relative urls in navigation: make them absolute urls, so that the
  parsed navigation elements have the correct destinations.

This also switches image transcripts from a section with a heading to a
div with an ARIA label. That should reduce duplication between the
<summary> content and the heading while still being semantically sound.

Use soft hyphens more judiciously
- Recommend others be careful with their use of soft hyphens, and test
  with NVDA. Poorly-placed hyphens can make words sound unclear.
- Dial back my use of soft hyphens to only what's necessary.

Re-introduce RSS discoverability alongside Atom
The RSS feeds use escaped HTML instead of XHTML, which improves
compatibility with certain feed readers (e.g. Microsoft Outlook).

Mention that Outlook uses its own weird engine for feed contents in my
web best practices article.

Remove microdata from feeds
It's useless and invalid in those contexts, and removing it
significantly trims the file sizes.

Edit a post featuring a microdata code snippet to avoid conflicts.

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.

Clarify horizontal line test, RT-tracking overkill
- round-trip-tracking is overkill for most use-cases
- clarify that horizontal line test is best used for landmarks and for
  multiple different grouping elements, rather than just any grouping
  element.

Support page-specific open graph images
Allow specifying open graph images for individual pages. Change default
site-wide open graph image alt-text to an empty string since the default
image only has visual value, and is better off hidden from assistive
technologies.

Set an open graph image for two articles.

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.

  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
