   I'm not sure. I think one of the cool things about the old facebook layout is that it can fit so much on one page without looking cluttered. Granted, some apps -- and the people who add them in spades -- are ruining this, but I don't thin

    Those aren't actually done by the W3C; and I've heard there are a lot of errors in them. However, I've used them in the past with no complaints for a quick lookup -- learned XPath from there, for example.
