RE: Webby Award

Peter -

Congratualations on the award.

I have a question about the contest. Was the HTML structure of the site 
taken into account in the review process? I am always interested to find out 
whether how well something is constructed is taken into account, 
specifically how well it supports web standards like XHTML and CSS.

I noticed that the cancer.gov was laid out using HTML tables rather then CSS 
based layout. Was there a reason for that?
