The intro page you get on starting Tomcat for the first time, that is the index page of the ROOT webapp, does not have a correct doctype and is therefore probably invalid HTML, though I must admit I haven't actually checked this yet with a validator. In addition, it uses layout tables, purely presentational elements and more things that (not only) I consider to be bad web design practice. I won't complain longer about this if (a) nobody else thinks this is in the least important, or (b) you let me fix this. ;-) I consider myself to have extensive knowledge in modern, standards-compliant HTML writing, and would like to put this knowledge to use. This way, I hope to get involved in the Tomcat project in a small way. If this goes well, I'd start checking the other example pages as well. What do you think?
