EU Overturns Agreement With US On Banking Data

Posted by timothy on from the seems-like-a-reasonable-decision dept.

    I like your .sig:

    Google? HTML? I think not

    I'm sure you could trawl every organisation involved with Web Standards to find faults on their sites, though. For example:

    http://www.w3.org/Help/ has an empty <a></a> tag pair that should throw a warning in W3C's "strict" XHTML 1.0 validator but doesn't: Validate this

    http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/site-comments/ doesn't include a type="text/css" attribute on one of its stylesheet <link...> tags, but again this isn't picked-up in the W3C validator: Validate this which instead complains about an issue with the DOCTYPE tag.
