Web Standards (14 September 2004)
Today's discussion will be on web coding standards, which tend to generate almost as many religious battles as operating system choices.
We'll cover the HTML standards development process, existing HTML and XHTML standards, problems with existing standards, and browser support for standards. We'll also discuss the issues surrounding separation of presentation and content, and the importance of CSS in standards-based web development.
Haha! Microsoft isn't validated. :P

The page with the list for readings has all the text aligned to the right instead of left (thus looking like a blank page).

Below is a list of the sites and the problems I have found.
CNN- there is no attribute "VALIGN", document type does not allow element "FORM" here, reference to non-SGML character
MTV--no character encoding, required attribute "TYPE" not specified,there is no attribute "LEFTMARGIN"
APPLE- there is no attribute "TOPMARGIN", there is no attribute "BACKGROUND", entity was defined here
