Hi guys, we’ve got a full house today. Stephan: Good evening. Kevin: Yeah. Patrick: Yes, we do. Kevin: I sounded really depressed. Patrick: Sounded very authoritative. Like, “Yes. We do.

Louis: I feel as if you were, and this is just a total shot in the dark but that’s what we do here, if you were to go with the HTML 5 specification I think you’d probably have a much larger percentage of sites validating only because HTML 5 is a bit more lax. Did they mention in that study what standard they were [...]
