I respectfully disagree. It uses tables (instead of CSS) to enforce a particular layout on me, which happens to look very bad in my tty (w3m) and print media (html2ps) browsers. It also has two sets of links (at the top of the page and on the left) that appear to be identical, which is confusing. Finally, the actual content, starting with "Distributed. Interactive. Smart." is nowhere near the top of the page. The front page also has some accessibility warnings (note that many are usually false positives): $ curl -s http://darcs.daniel.carrera.bz/ | tidy --accessibility-check 3 >/dev/null line 121 column 3 - Warning: missing <td> Accessibility Checks: Version 0.1 line 22 column 1 - Access: [6.1.1.3]: style sheets require testing (style attribute). line 8 column 3 - Access: [6.1.1.1]: style sheets require testing (link). line 9 column 1 - Access: [6.1.1.1]: style sheets require testing (link). line 10 column 1 - Access: [6.1.1.1]: style sheets require testing (link). line 11 column 1 - Access: [6.1.1.1]: style sheets require testing (link). line 12 column 1 - Access: [6.1.1.1]: style sheets require testing (link). line 13 column 1 - Access: [6.1.1.1]: style sheets require testing (link). line 17 column 3 - Access: [6.2.2.2]: text equivalents require updating (script). line 17 column 3 - Access: [6.3.1.1]: programmatic objects require testing (script). line 17 column 3 - Access: [8.1.1.1]: ensure programmatic objects are accessible (script). line 17 column 3 - Access: [7.1.1.1]: remove flicker (script). line 17 column 3 - Access: [2.1.1.4]: ensure information not conveyed through color alone (script). line 17 column 3 - Access: [1.1.10.1]: <script> missing <noscript> section. line 26 column 1 - Access: [5.5.2.1]: <table> missing <caption>. line 26 column 1 - Access: [5.5.1.1]: <table> missing summary. line 26 column 1 - Access: [5.1.2.1]: data <table> missing row/column headers (all). line 29 column 32 - Access: [2.1.1.1]: ensure information not conveyed through color alone (image). line 29 column 32 - Access: [1.1.2.1]: <img> missing 'longdesc' and d-link. line 31 column 29 - Access: [13.1.1.1]: link text not meaningful. line 49 column 1 - Access: [5.5.2.1]: <table> missing <caption>. line 49 column 1 - Access: [5.5.1.1]: <table> missing summary. line 49 column 1 - Access: [5.3.1.1]: verify layout tables linearize properly. line 53 column 5 - Access: [5.5.2.1]: <table> missing <caption>. line 53 column 5 - Access: [5.5.1.1]: <table> missing summary. line 75 column 1 - Access: [5.5.2.1]: <table> missing <caption>. line 75 column 1 - Access: [5.5.1.1]: <table> missing summary. line 89 column 2 - Access: [2.1.1.5]: ensure information not conveyed through color alone (input). line 93 column 2 - Access: [2.1.1.5]: ensure information not conveyed through color alone (input). line 95 column 1 - Access: [2.1.1.5]: ensure information not conveyed through color alone (input). line 98 column 12 - Access: [2.1.1.5]: ensure information not conveyed through color alone (input). line 99 column 1 - Access: [2.1.1.5]: ensure information not conveyed through color alone (input). line 113 column 13 - Access: [5.5.2.1]: <table> missing <caption>. line 113 column 13 - Access: [5.5.1.1]: <table> missing summary. line 125 column 5 - Access: [5.5.2.1]: <table> missing <caption>. line 125 column 5 - Access: [5.5.1.1]: <table> missing summary. line 125 column 5 - Access: [5.3.1.1]: verify layout tables linearize properly. line 160 column 18 - Access: [5.5.2.1]: <table> missing <caption>. line 160 column 18 - Access: [5.5.1.1]: <table> missing summary. line 170 column 54 - Access: [2.1.1.1]: ensure information not conveyed through color alone (image). line 170 column 54 - Access: [1.1.2.1]: <img> missing 'longdesc' and d-link. line 44 column 21 - Warning: trimming empty <div> line 129 column 9 - Warning: trimming empty <span> line 130 column 9 - Warning: trimming empty <span> line 149 column 3 - Warning: trimming empty <tr> Info: Doctype given is "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" Info: Document content looks like XHTML 1.0 Strict 5 warnings, 0 errors were found!
