OpenMLS believes strongly in web standards.
These standards are created, recommended, and published by the World Wide Web Consortium.
The
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was founded by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the web,
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in October 1994.
The mission of the
W3C is to promote interoperability and encourage an open forum for discussion.
In just over seven years, W3C has developed more than fifty technical specifications
for the Web's infrastructure.
OpenMLS currently adheres to
the following specifications: Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) and HTML 4.01.
The Platform for Privacy
Preferences (P3P) is a standardized set of multiple-choice questions, covering
all the major aspects of a Web site's privacy policies. P3P enhances user
control by putting privacy policies where users can find them, in a
form users can understand, and, most importantly, enables users to act
on what they see.

HTML 4 extends HTML with
mechanisms for style sheets, scripting, frames, embedding objects,
improved support for right to left and mixed direction text, richer tables,
and enhancements to forms, offering improved accessibility for people
and disabilities.
To show you that OpenMLS has
taken the care to create an interoperable Web page, we display this icon
on all of our validated pages. To test for validation, just click on the icon
and then you will see the results by the W3C Markup Validation Service.
In future site upgrades, OpenMLS
intends to add the following standards to all pages: XHTML1.0,
CSS,
Web Content Accessibility,
and PNG.
