Hey John,

I agree with the general consensus that these are really soft ball questions.

I too agree! But that's okay though. I was hoping that good candidates would get ~100% right, you know?

Instead of #10, I ask:
Name two tags that were deprecated in html 4.  Why were they deprecated?

Great. It focuses the question into a real-world example. I'll consider it for the next draft. Thank you.
Other questions I like:
1. What is the difference between, jpeg, gif, and png?  When is each
one appropriate?
(it is astonishing how many experienced developers can't get this right.)
Good question. I wonder how I could make it multiple choice?
2. Name four IE6 rendering bugs.

ouch... I myself wouldn't know this by heart.

3. When are tables appropriate for layout?
trick question?
Thanks, John :)
