Yes. It seems that thumbnails are used more than other images so I
started there. (Is there a way to count?)
Here's a list of the things I'd like to study:
- non-thumb images and other figures
- multi-column text
- the style sheets
All in the context of Wikipedia, naturally.
My hypothesis is that the current HTML code can be simplified and
improved by relying more CSS. The benefits are reduced code size
(what's the bandwidth of Wikipedia?) and easier reuse of the content.
