[Clipart] Web standards with OCAL

[Jon Phillips]

Well, the only bad html is the html humans write. So,right, using a
validation checker and then fixing the problems it points out is the
right approach.

Aiki doesn't force the html on the user, its up to the user.

So, all these bugs can be fixed inside of aiki.

Yes, simple is so much better and why we switched to aiki.

Go ahead and file a bug about html validation and css validation, but
even better is figuring out where to fix the bugs in aiki
installation, and fixing them there...
