Accessibility and standards

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.
