I love all this-- especially the validation against the DTD! Is it 
something that can/will be rolled into the core CGI module when the 
testing is complete, so that those of us using CGI can simply change from 
    cgi = CGI.new("html4")
to 
    cgi = CGI.new("xhtml1") 
?

side question: is there any way to force the existing CGI module to output 
tags and attributes in lowercase?
