Outline
Note: the August 2005 workshops have been split into
two streams - less technical and standard.
They will cover the same material and issues as outlined below, however
the less technical stream will concentrate more on the issues and impacts,
while the standard workshop (more technical stream) will discuss technical
issues in more depth and assumes familiarity with HTML and some understanding
of CSS.
