24 Now I know my ABC's...next time won't you sing wit
Brilliant Jack! Just the way to end my virtual evening.
One comment about G is for Greyscale…that is so very 1999…in WCAG 2.0 we will get to use the Lumonisty Contrast Ratio….perhaps G can be for Gez Lemon who is my hero for creating the Colour Contrast Analyser Firefox Extension!

26 I would have thought - G is for Google
Whatever people think about Google, they’re big and just getting bigger. I never used to be a fan, but they generally just do things right.
Nice article by the way, really enjoyed it and learnt a few things along the way.

27 P is for "primer"
This is a great primer for those new to web standards. And it was a pleasant lunch-read for a seasoned veteran like myself.
Nice work, Jack!

21 Funny - almost got me...
H for handcoding:
Let’s face it. Anyone who really wants a great standards-compliant website knows that without handcoding you’re just lost.
Design tools are there to help prototype page design etc… but for the finishing touch keep your “vi” handy.
M for Microsoft:
Microsoft is one of the greatest standard plattform out there. Let’s not forget this.
