XHTML and Accessibility in ASP.NET by default
December 1, 2003 4:08 PM
According to ScottGu, the architect for ASP.NET, the next version of Visual Studio, currently code named Whidbey, will have built-in support for XHTML and Accessibility output, verification, and debuging.
By default ASP.NET will output XHTML 1.1, have intellisense (auto-complete) for various versions of HTML, XHTML, Mobile cHTML, and Mobile HTML, and will do the red-swiggle underline when you don't comply.
The output will also be Section 508 compliant (the US Government accessibility checklist which includes the requirement that tools are usable by those without proper vision) and WCAG compliant (the W3's Accessibility guidelines).
ScottGu has screen shots of his latest Whidbey build showing off these great new features.
There's built-in support for internationalization and globalization already today. Anything else we should be asking for? Hmm... TopStyle Pro-quality CSS tools?
