Google I/O: Google Doctype

The Hitchhikers Guide To The Web is what Google Doctype would be called if it could be called that, said Mark Pilgrim.  It's an encyclopedia of the open web - definitions and compatibility of various HTML, CSS, and JavaScript functionality, articles on how best to achieve certain effects on the web (and avoid pitfalls).

The goal of Doctype is to be the #1 hit for any search term about the open web.

The "open web" is the DOM, HTML, and CSS - "just about anything that you can do on Firefox on 64bit Linux" (ie, no Flash and Silverlight) (and not XUL either).

In scope are those "open web" topics, as well as security and accessibility concerns that affect the "open web" and the closed web features as one needs to know them when using the "open web" technologies.

Progress so far (about two weeks) - 75 articles, 2800 pages of reference docmentation (ie, "background-color", "orange"), and 10k test cases.
