Hey all:

We're looking at putting some required standards in to place at work. The 
following have been thrown around. Ideally we need to have "code" examples 
for all the specs.

- 508 Compliant (we're actually Canadian, but want to be one step ahead of 
the game)
	- The law: http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/508/508law.html
	- Checklist: http://www.webaim.org/handbooks/developers/appendices/c/
	- Validation: http://www.cast.org/bobby/


- Priority Level 1 Accessible
	- Checklist: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/full-checklist.html
	- Sample: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/
		(problem: HTML here is NOT XHTML compliant, does anyone have a better 
example?)
	- Validation: http://www.cast.org/bobby/


- CSS Level 1 (and/or Level 2?)
	- Specification Level One: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1
	- Specification Level Two: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2
	- Validation: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/


- XHTML 1.0 Transitional
	- Specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/
	- DTD: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd
	- Sample: ?
	- Validation: http://validator.w3.org/

Would you recommend any other things that we ought to comply to? Are there 
better URLs than the ones I've picked? Is anything of what I've listed a 
mutually-exclusive deal? (e.g. the "code" sample for Priority Level 1 won't 
validate as XHTML because it has caps... at least I think that's a correct 
interpretation).

Thanks!!
