Great :)
Our offical DTD header block is now
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Ouch, UTF-8 ? Many browsers won't like this charset. Actually I'm afraid only the major ones (IE and Moz. -then maybe NN6-) knows this charset. Moreover I've faced some problems with this instruction inside php files: the php parser try... to parse <?xml.... How do you avoid this?
The idea I had, there exists a common CSS file, that does NOT comply for the NN4 parent bug. The PHP file reads it in, and spits out a new one that is complete, rather like the CSS validator by W3. As a result, we only have to maintain the common one and one per language, and the PHP file spits out a combined one, that could even be customized per browser.
OK.
Text direction and font face are a function of the character set.
Have you tried this with Moz or NN? As far as I remenber it won't work with NN4 at least. Not a big problem nevertheless: NN4 does not support any directive (even HTML/XHTML) for text direction :(
