[Web4lib] Resources? -- Web Standards and Semantic Markup

[Chris Gray]

Jonathan,

On semantic markup (with a CSS/HTML emphasis), one of my favorite people 
for both whys and wherefores as well as sound _practical_ advice is Owen 
Briggs.  His site is http://www.thenoodleincident.com/ and his "css 
panic guide" (with extensive list of Web and print resources) and 
"design rant" are recommended.  Also the book he co-wrote on CSS 
<http://www.glasshaus.com/BookInfo.asp?bookId=59>.
