• The Web is the main delivery mechanism for projects and services
• There is an increasing awareness of the importance of:

• Repurposing of Web content (e.g. archiving)
• Technologies such as XSLT will support repurposing … of valid XML resources

• Invalid HTML is the norm
• Many authoring tools produce poor HTML
• Authors aren’t aware of the problems
