I have.  So many specs, so little time :)

Corrected.  Thanks for the pointer.

As the original author of pep2html.py, let me ask you something.  Plaintext
PEPs use the HTML 4 transitional DTD (loose.dtd), but pep2html.py claims to
produce XHTML.  Should the DOCTYPE be switched to the XHTML DTD?  Or is this
a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"?
