My suggestion would be to just write HTML which conforms to a
standard. For instance, the main page at your Web site
`www.thought.org' declares its DOCTYPE as W3C HTML 4.01 Transitional,
but validating it at http://validator.w3.org/ against that standard
produces several errors. If all those errors are fixed, your pages
will be rendered properly by all browsers that support these
standards, see, e.g.,

http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/abdesign3.html
http://browsehappy.com/browsers/

As for editors, I suggest Emacs with PSGML mode (editors/psgml).
Rather than depending on the validator at W3C, you can install
textproc/opensp, and use onsgmls(1) to validate your HTML documents
without traversing the Internet, with something like

onsgmls -c ~/catalog -egsu foo.html
