Are you guys interested in following web standards for OCAL?
Check these out. Some stuff I came across while trying to find out what 
AIKI was doing to OCAL.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.openclipart.org%2Fbrowse&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=HTML5&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.781

I suggest we start using aiki with the way web standards are intended.
CSS into a collective area, instead of all spread out in their 
individual pages.
Any Librarian should be able to able modify the site as needed, just by 
adding the basics of
<h2>header for below</h2>
<p>blah blah sentence being modified </p>

The way OCAL is currently written is horrible for webstandards and will 
inhibit other people becoming Librarians, since they have to know HTML, 
and CSS, and PHP, AND the AIKI framework usage, to be able to modify the 
site.

Simple is best. Can we make OCAL simple to modify?
With CSS and HTML and now with the capabilty of php + Aiki, there's no 
excuse for sloppy web-coding. Especially now that we are not linked to 
CCHost in any way.

If there are gaps in my knowledge about why this isn't possible with php 
or aiki please let me know. :-)
