On the subject of desktops and compatibility, please don't forget the 
smaller desktops like IceWM, XFCE etc. There's been a number of threads 
on the user list about ubuntu on lower spec machines, where Gnome is 
just too heavy. Whether there is an 'official' ubuntu-lite or not, it 
seems a safe bet that there will be significant numbers of 
non-gnome/kde users.

HTML is the simplest answer for covering all desktops.
