Also, Iıd like to point out that Iıve only been validating my html for about 3 years. Itıs not difficult to write valid code and I think it actually makes CSS and Javascript easier when you have a perfect DOM tree. If people continue to promote and educate others about standards then by the time thereıs actually a final HTML5 spec and actual HTML5 browsers (at least 4 years from now by my guess) then we may not have to worry as much about the possibility of the majority of authors still writing horrible broken code when creating new content. The majority of future content is going to be either web applications themselves or the output of web applications. C++, .net, php, ruby, python, etc etc etc developers work very hard to write the least broken code they can come up with. They have to. Itıs the right thing to do. Yes, html is for the masses and should be easy. But going forward, authors should strive to write perfect code and the easiness of html5 should make it easier to author content more perfectly. -- :: thyme online ltd :: po box cb13650 nassau the bahamas :: website: http://www.thymeonline.com/ :: tel: 242 327-1864 fax: 242 377 1038
