WCAG (WAI) AAA validation would be great. Testing at http://d-theme.com/nitobe shows a bunch of minor things to clean up before validation. Some of the changes would bring the theme up to XHTML 1.0.

From the link above:

Wave did not detect accessibility errors. Cynthia Says it is WAI compliant as far as a computer can check but TV detected WAI A and WAI AA errors.

The Doctype is the old HTML 4.01 and not something you would aim for today. D theme validates against XHTML 1.0 and all the validation results are based on the later standard.

There is an unmatched <![endif]--> hanging around in the header.

The following line contains a style attribute without the theme specifying the default style sheet language.
<div id="title-wrapper" style="float: left;">

The following line contains a heading that is not nested properly.
<h3>User login

The following h2 contains whitespace at the start of the class attribute, something that is illegal in the XHTML schema.

<h2 class=" grid_12 alpha">
<div id="node-203" class="node node-page ">

There is no non script alternative for the following script, a WAI A error, located right at the end of the body.

<script type="text/javascript">
</script>

Peter,

Thanks for bring these issues to my attention.

In the future, always include problems in the issue body. The only reason to re-direct someone out of the issue queue is for demonstrating a problem on a live site.

The primary reason for this is so that there is permanent documentation of the original issue. The contents of the link you provide are subject to change over time and do not provide sufficient documentation to review change rationales at a future date.

These issues are addressed in the newest release (6.x-3.1).

Status: Fixed » Closed (fixed)
