Bravo, Wired News, for web standards this and that. If they're really going to change color scheme daily, I guess this might be handy. Even though I like the current one just fine.
Addedum 11:41a: Zeldman points out Wired News doesn't validate, because of the added advertising content. That's more a problem with XHTML than HTML: because the point of an XHTML document is it's valid XML, if an XHTML document doesn't validate, it may as well not be there... except the vast, vast majority XHTML is still read as HTML. Using XHTML at this time is pure futureproofing.
