(In [413]) /trunk

Migrate body colour and font base defs to CSS, make <head>
sections more consistent. See #3.

Look for local.css so admins can override the default
colours. local.css is ignored on the working root as it
should be entirely a local file. See #14.

Milestone: → 3.0

(In [446]) Create branch for HTML cleanup (see #3) and CGI normalization/cleanup
(see #15). Changes for one will affect the other; better to handle
them in the same workflow.

Remove printFooter from CommonWeb.pm
Add HTML::Template to main.cgi, admin.cgi, and search.cgi
Convert footer.inc to templates/footer.tmpl, and normalize
output for three scripts above
See #3.

Convert main summary page content to template

As per notes and thoughts at:

​http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml
​http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/

don't bother with XHTML (since it's guaranteed to be mishandled somewhere), just go with HTML 4.01 strict.
