  2. check validity of XHTML All pages are structured properly using semantic markup (readable independent of style sheets) and comply with World Wide Web Consortium's checkpoints for Web Content Accessibility.
  3. Cynthia Tested! The pages on this site comply with all of the U.S. Federal Government Section 508 Guidelines. This requires that electronic and information technology that is developed or purchased by the Federal Government is accessible by people with disabilities.
