My Web Standards Compaign. Target 1 = Jakarta
I'm thinking of starting a campaign to motivate Jakarta's project sites to be standards-compliant. By this, I mean get rid of the font tags and other color/size/positioning elements in the HTML. Use CSS and XHTML. Think it's worth pursuing. In reality, it doesn't really buy much except the prestige of being standards-compliant. Of course, I might be the only one who sees this as important. Wouldn't it be interesting if Java compilers were like browsers. You could do some things in one, and it wouldn't work in another compiler. That's the way the web is - let's fix it.
