The standards as laid out below improve the interoperability, accessibility and modularity of the design, maintainence and ultimately redesign phases of this website.
As the internet expanded new user agents were developed which wanted to access the content of traditional websites, televisions, telephones, and assistive technologies such as braille and sight readers being the most commonly known ones. Ordinary HTML is not up to this task. The XML standard was formed and the XHTML language was born as the replacement of HTML. Programming in the strictest version ensures that the content of this website is accessible by other technologies as well as web browsers.

Cascading Style Sheet technology (CSS) is critical to the modularity of this website. Removing contect from presentation is not only necessary for clarity in the programming stage of development, it is essential when either maintainence or redesign are required.
The CSS2 standard is the latest level of CSS technology which is widely supported by browser technology.
