I love the content, but I don’t know why you would code it the way you did.

If you don’t mind my asking, Dave: What exactly do you mean by that? 😊

Great idea. Though is that color scheme usable and readable? Don’t get me wrong, I like the retro feel but if you are going for “Focus on accessibility.“. I’m not sure that is the best color choice.

Dave, David, Dennis, thanks for sorting that out 😊 (It is valid, yes.)
Andrew, it is not the best color choice, however, it made some kind of sense to go for a “terminal style” scheme, and yet I focused on contrast. It looks worse than it is.
David (Duluoz), what do you mean? 😊

Do you need one more translation? 😉

How about another bullet - like “use open standards” or “avoid proprietary formats”?
