Patrick, I'm a grandmother -- albeit a stunningly youthful one ;-) --
and I'm following this thread avidly as I try and decide whether to
serve up html or xhtml as I accessify a delightful but flawed WP theme.
On this "interweb" so many of you dashing young things are talking about.
Could we drop the sexist (it's never a grandfather!), ageist digs at
people who simply had the misfortune to be born 10, 20, 50 years too early?
I hate to pick on you (of all people, who do so much for accessibility)
but the "aunt mabel" type tag (it's nearly always an older, female
relative) comes up too frequently and whilst I'm no bra burning
feminist, even I get hacked off at throwaway remarks such as this.
Now where did I put my dentures and zimmer frame last night...
