Guidelines Redesign #2023

As @martindholmes remarks in #1984, there are a variety of things in the Guidelines which could usefully be updated to use modern HTML features (and possibly less JavaScript). This ticket is an umbrella for pulling together those issues.

Things I can think of:

  3. Treat specification documentation differently than "back matter" like bibliography (people often go there first)
  4. Improve navigation.
  5. Take a thorough look at accessibility.
