I'm not sure how 2) fits with your goal. Demoing that a toolkit is able to work with HTML 4.01 doesn't say anything about the toolkit but the smartness with regards to web design of the developer behind it. What would be more important is to use more of the packages that OpenACS offers on the site (e.g. why don't we collect bookmarks for special topics / threads in one instance, see http://recruiting.azri.biz/bootcamp/resources/ for an idea. And use the bookmarks module for it ;).

Malte,

You're right. Point 2 is not technically related; but it is related to, for lack of a better term, the emotional appeal of the toolkit. A smart-looking design, based on recent web standards says to the visiting developer "you too can do this with our product" - even if "technically" you can do the same with notepad and an image editor.
