   It's possible because I like to drop back to HTML because it gives me
more control.   Perhaps the HTML fragment copy/paste could stress
something.   The sites themselves are not remarkable.

  There's probably 3 levels of HTML standards -
   1.) Proprietary, such as FrontPage when using FrontPage extensions.
   2.) Plain HTML that looks good in most browsers
  3.)  Fully standards compliant.

  Dreamweaver definitely falls in #2.   Any new designer product such as
Expression Web should be as close to #3 as possible and honor all the CSS
markups.   That's beyond what I currently need at the moment, so I'm not an
expert.
