Jeez, come on. And what about that 100% width of the page? It's really annoying me (have a large screen) to have such a large viewport of reading text. And I agree with Wardrop, too much information at one time. I also had some trouble to find the menu at the first sight. Jeez, come on. And what about that 100% width of the page?

It's still too easy to get lost. The main page is a bit of a mess. Using Firefox 3 i see following: Why is that "Web for All" section down there? Why do you have 2 "About W3C" links? The separation between the blogs on the right side and the "story" part in the middle is not clear. Etc., etc. Granted, it may be a question of taste, but I find it confuse. It gets better, though, when you go into some random section. Way better than the prior one, but I agree with Wardrop. It’s still too easy to get lost.

After first landing on the home page, I'm still immediately lost. An absolute information overload (like a lot of other popular sites surprisingly). There's stuff everywhere, I don't know where to look, and when I finally find the menu, I soon discover there's another menu just to confuse me even further. I'm being very negative, yes, but come on, these guys develop the standards, let's see them use their standards in a elegant and very functional way.
