10835,"Readme.html cleanups, rework",niallkennedy,,"I reworked readme.html and related CSS in an attempt to better explain WordPress to first-time users.

== Bigger changes ==

 * Break up ""recommendations"" section into ""requirements"" and ""recommendations"" sections. Matches wording in [http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ WP.org requirements page].
 * Link to PHP and MySQL homepages (and cron on Wikipedia), just in case it's not obvious to someone.
 * Add mod_rewrite as a recommendation.
 * Note that WordPress 1.5 template changes only are likely to apply if you have a WordPress install from before Feb 2005.
 * Link WordPress logo on top of page to WordPress.org. Add image dimensions to avoid page redraw.
 * Change links and text for XML-RPC tools to reflect their current names and homepages. This paragraph seems geared towards the blogging world of 2005; there have been a few name and ownership changes since.
 * Add a link to WordPress import tools list in wp-admin.

== Smaller changes ==

 * New css for dt and dd elements to match li and p font size and spacing.
 * Add title attributes to some links to better describe destination content (user-facing in tooltip).
 * Convert named HTML entities to UTF code point equivalents to match document style, doctype syntax, and lookup speed.
 * Add nofollow link relationship to install and upgrade links to prevent discourage search crawlers hitting those links.
 * Add abbreviations (abbr) where appropriate to expand content meaning. e.g. <abbr title=""WordPress"">WP</abbr>
 * Remove suggestion to bookmark and constantly check wp dev blog. Encourage users to check their admin dashboard module instead.
 * Explicitly specify GPLv2 instead of just GPL.",task (blessed),closed,normal,3.0,Upgrade/Install,2.9,normal,fixed,has-patch commit,toscho
