Google Code: Web Authoring Statistics

Here's an interesting article out of the Googleplex: Google Code: Web Authoring Statistics.

It's a look at code from December of 2005, and shows some interesting coding mistakes. Too bad more software doesn't (can't?) follow W3C standards ...

EDIT: It's great that Google has done this, but I'd like to hope that they'll continue to do this. As one of the links from Google attests, it's time for Web developers to look at standards, from the top down, and begin implementing them. If someone isn't implementating standards, then they need to be helped.

And, the old guides out there that are written in the times of pre-CSS need to get cleaned up as well. But since that's not going to happen, we've got to keep our own code clean.
