It isn't a badge of honour/merit/exceptional anything. If your site is crap it gets no stars, or 1 star, or two stars... If it meets all the criteria fully it get 10 stars or 5 stars, whatever is the highest in the system. Same as appliance and car efficiency ratings. All sites must have the rating and that rating depends on clearly set criteria. I'm not saying we must have this, I'm just suggesting an alternative to the unpopular and little understood (in the broader community) W3C button things. -- Peter Williams ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
