You've gotta remember all of the attributes and stuff to properly support
CSS and the standard.

You have to decide what standard you want to implement.  HTML X.X,  XHTML
etc...

w3schools is an awesome site that has a lot of information about the
standards, but I would also check out the RFCs. Also remember that some of
the standards seem to be universally ignored by all (or most) and you'll
have to deal with related maintenance issues as a result :)

Good luck
