Web standards in Tomcat webapps
Hi all, I'm new to this list - forgive me for bargeing in (if I am). I'd like to see the webapps distributed with Tomcat upgraded to use web standards. I couldn't find any mention of this in bugzilla. * Is this a Good Thing? (...I think it is) * Is anyone already doing it? * I've attached a first stab at one of the jsp pages: the ROOT/index.jsp page. It uses basic CSS but I don't think I used any CSS2 features that might be less backward-compatible. * I may have spare lunchtimes etc when I might slowly work my way through other pages ... if there is enough interest in getting this done.

Re: Web standards in Tomcat webapps
Richard If it is decided to move forward with this, I would also be willing to chip in and help the conversion to XHTML + CSS.
