I just ran the main page of the test site through the W3C HTML validator
(checking for HTML 4.01), and it shows 4 errors:
- 3 of then I blame on the validator for it won't parse <a
href="wiki.phtml?foo=this&bar=that"> , saying "unknown entity
bar".
Obviously, it is trying to parse the URL...
- The other error is a </p> that lacks a matching <p>.
If these are the problems we're facing with incorrect HTML, there's no need
to be scared... :)

Last I heard, we solicited a report from Manning Bartlett on metadata, how
to keep track of it, why we should keep track of it, and so forth.
The suggestion is old, but basically, we shouldn't do it at all unless we
can do it right (and, above all, unless we can keep it *simple for
users*).
Automatically-generated metadata is a Good Thing, I think.

Language will be done as well soon.

Silly question from me:
Why don't we have meta tags like keywords, language, author <g>, etc.?
Bye,
