  • Provide forms for authenticated users to submit content specific to your application
  • For authenticated administrative users provide an administration page where:
    • Web application tables can be created
      • So you can easily set it up on a new server
      • Can be a single button "Create Tables" which execute a canned set of SQL
      • It should handle errors gracefully, such as tables already existing
    • Contents of table can be viewed
      • Use SHOW TABLES and ResultSetMetaData

Validity of XHTML and CSS is in part determined by W3C's validation tools. Please ensure requirements not checked for by the validation tools are still adhered to.
