W3C Strict CSS, XHTML, RSS Code Compliance
Summary
The W3C is an international organization that promotes standard on the web. They publish and release documentation and tools that programmers use as a guide and standard to follow during the production of applications and platforms.
By adhering to the W3C, the web has become a more unified place, as it gives browser manufacturers an understanding of how code ought to behave, render and obeyed through an interaction medium (such as a desktop browser, mobile phone, etc.)
Integration
Our integration with the W3C comes in the form of strict guidelines we our platform adheres to. These include having our RSS validate as RSS 2.0, our CSS validate as CSS 2.1, and our XHTML validate as Strict XHTML 1.0. We took the highest care to make sure that the community you grow is well respected within the development community. and is able to follow standards that will increase speed, security, and wide adoption/usage.
When a resource such as an RSS feed, style sheet or page markup validates, it brings with it advantages to cross-browser compliance, and browser rendering speed.
Result
The effect of this validation on your community will most likely fall silent with your average visitor. However deploying a community that is based on strict guidelines and standards increases user experience, makes adoption of third party applications more likely (e.g. feed readers) and makes platform upgrades more possible.
The Clearmix PlatformTM is constantly growing, and over time will integrate more and more with third party platforms, especially on the client side. Establishing a strong set of rules and regulations that your community follows will make these integrations occur much quicker, more securely, and be taken more serious by third party developers who look to your community as a resource.
