Description

In the URL above the stylesheet loaded by the following line is not loaded or
not applied.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="include/styles.css" />

Earlier versions of Mozilla and Internet Explorer show the above page correctly.

This is invalid.  Your server is sending the CSS file as mime type:
application/x-pointplus

In standards mode (which we are in because of your Doctype) we will only render
text/css as styles.  We ignore all others.  Since this appears to be your
personal page, I will mark invalid and not send to evangelism.  To fix this,
your server should serve .css files as text/css.

My page's doctype is XHTML 1.0 Strict. This is standards mode. It's crazy. If I
remove the doctype the page renders correctly.

Verified.  As you noted, the page is in standards mode.  We _do_ drop this check
in quirks mode because IE and NS4 don't perform it.  In standards mode however,
we do try to stick to the standards (the HTTP standard in this case).

If you have trouble with getting your server to send the right content type,
please let me know.
