Yup, I'm using that in my XHTML/1.1 compliant HTML pages all the time.

Ah, *that's* why some pages just don't work for me. If that's true…

… isn't. I do have certain displaying problems with a certain webforum
which I can't make public (using Invision Power Board software), which
only shows up for some of the “forum categories”, but your diff doesn't
fix that.

It's not completely harmless either.

Before:
   [16]My Profile · [17]View New Posts · [18]My Assistant · [19]My Friends · 
[20]0 New Messages                  
After:
   [16]My Profile  17]View New Posts  18]My Assistant  19]My Friends  20]0 New 
Messages                          

The code for that is:

<b><a href="..." title="...">My Profile</a></b> &middot;&nbsp;<a 
href="...">View New Posts</a>
&middot;&nbsp;<a href="javascript:foo();" title="...">My Assistant</a>
&middot;&nbsp;<a href="javascript:bar();">My Friends</a>
&middot;&nbsp;<a href="http://...";>0 New Messages</a>

Too bad.
