This is a cheap shot, but I can't resist [grin]. In looking at the background to the NZ e-government strategy, I looked at their "e-government web guidelines". This includes a section on standards conformance, including HTML - which is all very laudable. Inter alia it requires the inclusion of a DOCTYPE declaration in every HTML page ... but does the page making this stipulation have a DOCTYPE declaration? Yup, you guessed ... (in fact, the W3 validator returns a long list of violations in addition to the lack of DOCTYPE). If you want to savour the irony youself, I give the URL below; but for those of you listening rather than reading, be warned that this is a rather long and horrible URL... Cheers, - Barry. The "DOCTYPE" URL: http://www.e-government.govt.nz/guidelines/web-guidelines/e-government-web-guidelines-consultation-draft-html/e-government-web-guidelines-consultation-draftp23.htm
