		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s bad enough when forms are over-long and boring, but when a web form is actually completely unusable, frustration is an understatement.
This example of a web form by Churchill (whoops, actual link is https://churchillpet.com/ but beware, the secure certificate is out of date!) shows us the worst example of poor web  standards and testing [...]]]></description>
