Mapserver html output and DOCTYPE...

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

I had a similar issue using MapServer CGI and trying to write xhtml strict, for example.  And there's much more than the doctype issues.  For example, strict xhtml writes the SELECTED token in a select option as selected="selected".  Currently MapServer writes as the former.

Not sure what the best approach is here to solve different more strict HTML flavours and how MapServer outputs form type values.
