I'd rather not. I'll explain some ideas of mine. IMO there are several 
levels a web developers can achieve with his page:

Level 0 - Page complies with standards. JS and layout don't break.
Level 1 - Page can be navigated with any browser (accesibility,
           "alt"'s).
Level 2 - Page uses tags appropiately (except tables).
Level 3 - Page doesn't use tables.

(Note that I haven't mentioned validation. A valid page could in fact be 
worse than a non-valid one).

My idea is to help people to achieve "level 0". I try to help the author 
to do what he wants, not what *i* want him to do, not to try to convince 
to change the way he has always created pages. Of course I'd like to be 
able to be succesful in making people comply with all these levels, but 
I'm afraid that if I try other levels I will loose the readers!

At least in this article, which aims to be like a "checklist" kind of thing.
