Just so everyone has a feel as to what markup standards you can comply with, here are the W3 Doctypes taken from their validator...
  • XHTML 1.1
  • XHTML Basic 1.0
  • XHTML 1.0 Strict
  • XHTML 1.0 Transitional
  • XHTML 1.0 Frameset
  • ISO/IEC 15445:2000 ("ISO HTML")
  • HTML 4.01 Strict
  • HTML 4.01 Transitional
  • HTML 4.01 Frameset
  • HTML 3.2
  • HTML 2.0
  • MathML 2.0
  • XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0
Here are the CSS profiles available from the W3 CSS validator ...
  • CSS version 1
  • CSS version 2
  • CSS version 2.1
  • CSS version 3
  • SVG
  • SVG Basic
  • SVG Tiny
  • mobile
  • ATSC TV profile
  • TV profile
A listing of acceptable doctypes is listed at W3.

Hope this helps all developers that are striving for compliance to some degree.
