Oops--something I forgot to ask, is what does this website look like on
a mobile device that supports HTML? I browsed around it with an Ericsson
P900 and it was quite acceptable (for a similar effect, use FireFox with
images and styles disabled and about 300px window width).
However, I am not sure what sort of 'standards' I should use to test
against to have a website that operates well with a mobile device; are
their good emulators or techniques to improve the site beyond what it
currently is like?

We just 'soft launched' a new website,
http://www.wirelessforum.org.nz, so that we can gather a final set of
feedback and changes for a Monday meeting to see the project finished
next week.
The entire site is XHTML 1.1, CSS2, WCAG-AAA compliant, and makes good
use of semantic markup, e.g. no tables for layout, lists for menus,
H1/H2/H3 in appopriate places, as well as lists of news items, events,
etc on pages. Am wanting this to be a good portfolio item for our web
standards compliance, so if anyone can point out things in our markup
or CSS to make it even more bullet proof, or find any holes, that
would be fantastic :P I've submitted it to
http://w3csites.com/sites.asp, so I want to ensure it has a valid home
there!
It is designed to look fine in pcIE6/MacIE5.2, and the latest Safari,
FireFox, Opera and Netscape. A few things happen in pcIE5.5, and 5,
but are mainly to do with the size of paddings and margins and we
don't deem this as any concern. NB: The two lines of *homepage event
titles* currently don't fit, but we're going to get some new taller
backgroung images here by Monday, but other than that, there shouldn't
be surprises.
The whole site is content managed (with content and new pages being
added/edited as I speak by a few different people, so please excuse
any gaps in the content!)--its a good test of the xhtml compliance
feature of our CMS that we've been working dilegently on!
As you can see, its quite an improvement over its previous state
(http://www.wirelessdataforum.org.nz).
