That does not matter for a first prototype. Of course, this issue should
be solve at one point.

A web framework will probably provide tools to solve this issue (the
notion of session and some persistent state associated to a session).

However I would very much prefer some indication that this is the
winning response. "(winning)" written in small size next to the response
or something like that. I don't like the idea of having implicit
assumption ("green background" means "winning response").

Yes, very good suggestion. I like it! :-)

Well, I'm not sure that I should do that on the server:
* I need to change my code; ;-)
* Applying such rules is language dependent so we need to have some
notions of the language of a question on the server;
* "nonbreakable space" and the like should be inserted in a way
independent of the rendering technology (HTML, GTK interface,
...). Maybe some Unicode UTF-8 characters are reserved for that, I
don't know.
That's said, I agree that the server should do some canonisation in a
generic way. We need to refine the line to draw between the client and
the server processings.
In the meantime, you might add some regexp to do the proper
pre-processing for French... or do nothing. ;-)

I like your light design.
The gray background might be a bit dull or might be an issue for people
having sight issue. To be checked.
Yours,
