The Dutch are embracing web standards. Since all the ministries in our country “just” got new pages we could easily pass a law like this. At least the next iteration would be standards compliant.

Currently the pages boast:

• invalid HTML 4.01 Transitional,
• tables for layout,
• images for titles (some without alt attributes),
• spacer images,
• font tags (<font face=”verdana” size=”1″>),
• noindex tags,
• HTML attributes for styling (bgcolor=”#D6E1EC”),
• inline CSS (style=”margin:0 0 0 0;”),
• inline scripts (href=”javascript:linkTo_UnCryptMailto(‘nbjmup jogp/naaAhpw/tj’);”),
• documents in closed file formats (doc),
• …and more.
