Leupold, thanks for the tip.

So you think the install is correct, and I should proceed with upgrading my live site?

You don't think there is something in the upgrade package that needs to be corrected?

Thanks again

Just a few days ago, we upgraded the http://demo.dotnetnuke.com site using the standard upgrade package.  This site contains approximately 400 or so live child portals (and 800 or so additional expired child portals) at any given moment.  That upgrade proceeded smoothly and took only a few moments to complete.

Before upgrading ANY production site, however... I would want to have at least one perfectly clean staged upgrade.

The code you pasted above as having been from default.aspx is the code from a CHILD portal default page (typically found in \Portals\_default\subhost.aspx).  The only change to default.aspx between 4.4.1 and 4.5.3 was the addition of a text/css attribute on a style tag, the contents of subhost.aspx did not change at all.

Hope that is helpful.

Cheers
