U.S. Web Design Standards 1.0
I love this:> The UI components are built on a solid HTML foundation, progressively enhanced to provide core experiences across browsers. All users will have access to the same critical information and experiences regardless of what browser they use, although those experiences will render better in newer browsers. If JavaScript fails, users will still get a robust HTML foundation.I guess it remains to be seen just how robust this really is, but it's a fantastic goal to see explicitly embraced for modern websites. I skimmed some things in Lynx and w3m (elinks failed with an SSL error; rumor has it that it doesn't support SNI), and it honestly looks better than I remember a lot of sites looking in Lynx ~20 years ago, let alone the average modern site. Sure, part of that is imagemaps and frames going out of style, but modern sites haven't necessarily replaced them with more graceful constructs.
