Errm, which is root66s design? www.kde.org/testing/, 
http://www.kde.org/testing/modified/ and 
http://www.kde.org/testing/modified-2/ are far from being AAA compliant or 
printer optimized and http://www.kde.org/testing/modified-2/changelog.txt 
says "Style sheet for printing" is a ToDo. So please give me a clue, which 
design are you talking about?

IMHO kde.org should stick to the WAI thing. Bobby is nice for basic checking, 
but it recommends non W3C stuff which are asked for by some organisations, 
but on the other hand lacks support for non W3C stuff which is recommended by 
other organisations. So before going for non standard stuff, stick to W3C. 
I understand everybody would like a WAI validator in the style of the W3Cs 
HTML/CSS validators, so would I. But there is none around, the task is too 
complicated. Bobby has a lot of things it does not check, but are required to 
be WAI compliant. So to be WAI compliant, go through the WAI checklist, don't 
rely on Bobby.

I also read one of the todos is to make the site work with NS 4. What do you 
mean with "work with NS4"? Should it really look good or just basically work? 
The latter is possible, the first not. Well, not if you want to be W3C/WAI 
compliant. I would love to be proved wrong on that account...
