Built with web standards

This web site uses W3C web standard XHTML, XML, and CSS in its construction. These have been used because of their high degree of usability and accessibility, and because they are carefully designed to deliver the greatest benefits to the greatest number of web users long-term.

We think a professional technical communication site should be a good example to others, so we have chosen to use and support the work of the Web Standards Project.
