HTML code on become_an_editor page

[axura]

Apologizing if this is unappropriate or already been discussed in depths:

 

having to paste the code presented at http://dmoz.org/become_an_editor/ to a site using a php script to fetch ODP data, is it possible to "rewrite" this HTML code in valid xhtml 1.0 (don't know yet if transitional or strict) one with appropriate usage of css, preserving the visual aspect and links present, or this would be unappropriate?

 

Would it be ok to contribute this code, if we are allowed to develop it and we go for it, back to the community?

 

In case it's ok, how should we proceed?

 

Thanks and greets from Italy!
