Cameron Moll posted detailed tips on how to modify a standard Microsof Sharepoint 2007 installation into something with an acceptable output that’s valid XHTML and CSS, and less bloated with a much smaller footprint. In other words, a workaround for making Sharepoint work a little better out of the box. First of all, it’s a great post, and good to know that it can really be done if clients want both Sharepoint and a web standards-based, accessible website.
But, as I was reading through the (myriad of) comments, I realized that most of the exitement was that this could actually, technically be achieved to modify Sharepoint. I think this is a wrong way to look at the issue. And I wrote this comment: Thanks a lot for sharing these links.

Among the many reasons I might articulate for the relative slowdown in updates and articles around here, Microsoft SharePoint 2007 resides near the top of the list. For a few weeks now I’ve been completely immersed in not only understanding the app from the viewpoint of a user, but also from that of a developer attempting to skin SharePoint’s templates with our organization’s identity. I’ll refrain from offering a complete analysis of what SharePoint really is (and what it isn’t), but suffice it to say it’s a collaboration tool that offers a lot of nifty features but falls short (way short, in fact) in terms of semantic, accessible markup and “don’t make me think” workflow.
Prior to my arrival, SharePoint was chosen as one of the apps used internally by employees, and I’ve been tasked with not only skinning the look and feel but also cleaning up the code. It’s been an insurmountable task at times, to say the least, but we’ve made some decent progress along the way. Lovely. Essentials.
