I think that FIRST will learn some things from this year and make the process better next year. Also, i'd think that they would listen to our ideas, so any more?

Yeah. I know that I spent about four solid weeks with Volte--the design god for our team--working on the content and programming of our site. A lot of hard work went into our site and prototype sites before it. It should stay an award.
There's a problem with with making w3c compliance mandatory. If you use the
W3C validator on their website, you will find that hardly anything with coding on it--that is, anything other than straight up HTML--fails to validate. This includes
www.theforceteam.com, www.chiefdelphi.com, www.amazon.com, and
www.cnn.com.
Thus, it is probable that, if textbook w3c compliance was mandatory, a site written in four minutes on notepad would have to win over something made in DreamWeaver over a course of two months.
I think that only one question should be asked of the compatibility of the site: does it work in most browsers? If so, than it's fine.
