Any plans for setting it up as Strict? Can you put the validation standards that you're working towards in this theme into your description?

Have you heard about http://www.sidar.org/hera/index.php.en for WCAG testing?

I tested this theme for XHTML 1.0 Strict at http://d-theme.com/artists_c01 and it worked with just the change of the doctype.

Should have come back and confirmed this. Did some accessibility tests on this too:

Just one issue of "WARNING Deeply nested tables can cause problems when a document is rendered in a linear mode, e.g., by screen readers."

But that can happen even when it is valid xhtml

Cynthia Says US 508 report says there is no meta elements for content-language, description, or keywords so I added content-language using Pet Meta. There are a couple of meta element modules that add description and keywords but I have not tested them.

The blue heading contains blue text on a blue background and will fail colour contrast tests. When text is on the blue background, it will have to be pure black or pure white and probably bold or a larger font size.
