[TYPO3-content-rendering] [Typo3-accessibility] a move to content rendering

[ben van 't ende [netcreators]]

Hi,

Michael Stucki has created a new list on behalf of the Content Rendering Group. 
tHNx dude! The Content Rendering Group is a self proclaimed group that has set 
forward a couple of goals. These goals are not covered by accessibility alone. 
There are several areas concerning the output of TYPO3 that need attention. In 
the market there is a growing call for standards compliant output for webpages. 
Some Amercian states require government websites to be WAI 
(http://www.w3.org/WAI/) conformant and dutch goverment demands that newly build 
websites are XHTML strict. The output of the TYPO3 CORE should be examined. Some 
changes are relatively easy to do (like IMAGE object without border attribute, 
no <p>-tags within <td> for tables).

Below are the goals for the group:

* monitor markup output of TYPO3 to be standards compliant 
(http://www.webstandards.org) and XHTML1.0 strict compliant

* monitor preferred extensions (like RTE htmlarea, Modern FAQ, tt_news, 
chc_forum) for their output

* recommend extensions for accessibilty

* advise or cooperate with extension builders to get their output XHTML1.0 
strict and standards compliant

* write documentation about how to get TYPO3 to output XHTML compliant code

* recommend TS

* finish css_imgtext ;-)

* deliver a default TS set for XHTML1.0 strict compliant output. For instance 
all target attributes wthin a <a> will have to be removed. No border attribute 
for images (<img />) and such.


At this moment these are the members of the group.

Members in the sense that you can expect these dudes to be not only lurking the 
list, but actually giving answers ;-) We hope to have a spot on TYPO3.org soon 
so we can keep you up to date with news, documentation, examples of 
accessible/xhtml compliant websites, tips and CRG approved extensions. So join 
in everyone! Jordan has already discovered the list!
